Quite a few movies came out this weekend, but only one could be the top performer—and that was Street Fighter. Per Variety, Paramount and Capcom’s martial arts movie made $51.1 million worldwide, with $30 million coming from domestic markets. Already, the global take puts it well ahead of the $12 million earned by its predecessor, 2009’s The Legend of Chun-Li and behind the $99.4 million of the 1994 film. Compared to more recent video games movies—namely, September’s Resident Evil and May’s Mortal Kombat II—this opening falls behind the former’s $103.8 million and the latter’s $60 million. Mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike have dominated much of the online Street Fighter chatter. It may have reportedly cost just $82 million to make, but the split divide may hurt the film in the next few weeks as the month (and year) get significantly busier. Given how the film ends, it’s clear the creative team would like to do more—it’s just a matter of whether ticket or eventual viewership numbers get them there. Between Street Fighter and the mass interest in Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s You Can See Everything, how’d Whalefall do?

The 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has reignited a long-standing cultural conversation about women's bodies after childbirth. On Sunday, some of the biggest names in fashion and Hollywood, lncluding Nicole Kidman, gathered at the Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, Calif for the live-streaming of the infamous fashion show. The event, which included appearances by Kylie Jenner and Tate McRae, featured models Elsa Hosk, who gave birth to her second child in July, and Barbara Palvin, who welcomed her first child just six weeks ago. Victoria's Secret models Elsa Hosk and Barbara Palvin both walked the runway after recently giving birth. (Getty Images)After images of Hosk and Palvin were shared online, many were quick to condemn Victoria's Secret for positioning their appearance empowering example to women. "Wow, I hate this," one woman wrote on an Elite Daily Instagram post. "No woman who gives birth so recently should be expected to be back at work, or covered for how their bodies 'bounce back.' I find this deeply unhealthy and unrealistic. ""As someone who is currently postpartum, I can tell you that this post ruined my night," another added.
