Mortal Kombat II<\/a> looks on course for a big opening at the global box office, with various reports indicating it will make its money back during its theatrical run.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The video game adaptation sequel, which sees Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage take center stage, hits theaters five years after its predecessor, which came out in April 2021 following a series of COVID-enforced delays. Warner Bros. also streamed the film simultaneously on HBO Max, where it enjoyed big success. Mortal Kombat went on to make $84.4 million globally during its theatrical run.<\/p>\n

Mortal Kombat II, however, seems certain to outperform the first film by quite some margin. TheWrap<\/a> said that while Warner Bros. projects a $35 million domestic and $65 million global haul for Mortal Kombat II this weekend, it is set for closer to $51 million from North American theaters, with a global tally of $70-80 million. Variety<\/a> said Mortal Kombat II was produced for $80 million, above the first film\u2019s $55 million cost, so it seems certain to turn a profit.<\/p>\n
