Mortal Kombat II 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. 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. Mortal Kombat II, however, seems certain to outperform the first film by quite some margin. TheWrap 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.
