Street Fighter is for the fans and Paramount Pictures is giving those fans an exclusive opportunity to see the upcoming film one day early with “Bonus Round” opening round fan events. Early screenings will start on October 15th at 2 PM, with “Bonus Round” screenings beginning at 7 PM that same night.
The “Bonus Night” screenings will come with an exclusive art print and one of three collectible character buttons. My guess based on the marketing is that the pins will feature Chun-Li (Callina Liang), Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken (Noah Centineo).
Advance tickets are on sale now at streetfightermovie.com/bonusroundevent.
To celebrate the release of advance ticket sales, Paramount released a really cool featurette showing how the elements of the film were taken directly from specific moments in the classic arcade game. This video shows why this latest adaptation’s approach of not taking itself too seriously is a great fit for the video game. This film looks fun and a little absurd, which is the best way to turn a video game with absurd moves into a live-action adaptation. Liang in particular has some epic action scenes in the clip and given that she’s playing a character that is known for flying upside down across the screen in a helicopter kick, the scenes look perfect.
Check out the video below. Street Fighter releases October 16th in theaters with “Bonus Round” events taking place one day earlier on October 15th. FIGHT!

READY. SET. FIGHT.

Said Paramount Pictures’ President of Domestic Theatrical Distribution Shaun Barber, “We’re thrilled to be bringing the visceral action and vibrant world of Street Fighter to the biggest screens possible, and to give fans the chance to experience these larger-than-life characters like never before.”
Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) and Ryu (Andrew Koji) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!
