Despite disappointing critics and fans in 1994, the live-action Street Fighter movie was a financial success, earning over $99 million on a $35 million budget. Capcom has revealed that the film still generates significant profit, with reports indicating it brings in “millions of yen” annually, even 30 years after its release. Directed and written by Steven E. de Souza, the movie featured actors like Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia. Despite its initial reception, the film has proven to be a consistent moneymaker for Capcom, as shared during their latest shareholder meeting. A new live-action adaptation is currently in development at Legendary Pictures, although the project has recently undergone a change in directors.
