Many debuts of films last night.

“Street Fighter,” which features an eclectic cast that includes rapper 50 Cent, made a whopping $4 million in previews.

Will that number build exponentially? “Street Fighter” isn’t really cinema, it’s an action game. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes are at 44%. The audience interest is only 82%. But maybe a return visit following will pump it up for three more days.

Then there’s “You Can See Everything.” A24 has been so difficult with press, I like to say You Can See Everything — But this Movie. LOL.

Anyway, previews brought in $1.75 million. But that may be solely in the very urban hip movie going areas. In the suburbs the theaters are selling well at “rush hour” times because this quasi-documentary is three hours’ long (not including Coming Attractions and ads).

Will it have legs? We’ll see after the first weekend.

Two other openings — “Sense and Sensibility” — a new version, and “Whalefall.” The former did $1.5 million, the latter $990,000.

Even though Ang Lee’s “S&S” is a classic, I’d like to see the new one for many reasons. Maybe whoever released it will send me a screener.

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
