Trending today: Street Fighter, League of Legends Classic and David Rubenstein
The new Street Fighter movie wins Friday's box office, Riot Games is shutting down League of Legends Classic in January, and Orioles owner David Rubenstein's comments on owners making money ahead of baseball's labor deadline.
Legendary and Paramount's live-action Street Fighter, directed by Kitao Sakurai, took first place at the Friday box office with an estimated $13 million from 3,575 theaters, according to Variety, and is projected to earn about $31 million over the weekend (Variety, Deadline). The cast includes Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, 50 Cent and David Dastmalchian as M. Bison. Figures are studio estimates.
Riot Games says League of Legends Classic, a throwback mode that launched in late July 2026, will go offline in January 2027 because most players have gone back to other parts of League. Players will be refunded for Classic-only content, and Riot says it hopes to bring Classic back, likely as an event mode.
Baltimore Orioles owner David Rubenstein said, in comments reported by Baltimore Baseball, "A lot of my friends were buying teams, and I realized they're making money," adding that he ultimately bought the Orioles for a philanthropic purpose and that owners care more about winning than making money. The remarks come as MLB's collective bargaining agreement expires December 1, with a lockout expected.
