franchise opened this weekend to a box office draw of a mere $4.6 million, just a tad bit shy of its $60 million budget. To put in perspective how miserably this movie did, the original Jean-Claude Van Damme cheesefest did $6.9 million for it's opening weekend way back in 1994, when ticket prices were much lower -and they were only working with a $35 million budget. Of course, this is only the opening weekend. I'm sure it will make plenty more in the next few weeks to surpass it's remaining budget. It's not like there's any movies premiering this coming weekend that would take anymore draw from Street Fighter's box office returns. Well, I guess there is the Watchmen movie this Friday, but I mean who the heck wants to see that -am I right? Oh, Kristen Kruek, I bet Smallville doesn't look so bad now, does it?
