Following the release of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, Capcom says it will be putting more of its IP into theatres, and will be adopting a more hands-on approach to their production

"Capcom is going to be much more heavily involved in our movies," Capcom's director of corperate communications, Chris Kramer, told GameDaily. "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-L is the first film to hit theaters that follows this model, which is why the Capcom logo has such prominent placement at the beginning of the movie. We also have Onimusha, Clock Tower and Lost Planet movies in production, as well as a few other options floating around Hollywood."

As you may have heard already, The Legend of Chun Li was panned by movie critics, and only made USD 4 million on its opening weekend. However, Kramer says that he still expects the film to generate revenue for Capcom.

"Critics were unkind to the first Street Fighter movie as well, but that film has been ridiculously profitable for Capcom over the last decade." he said. "The original SF movie still generates millions of dollars in royalties for Capcom every year, thanks to cable, foreign distribution, home video, DVD and Blu-ray sales. And Capcom would be receiving even more money if that had been a co-production deal!"
