Recommended VideosThanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie didn’t receive a fair run at the box office but was a hit on streaming.
On paper, Mortal Kombat II should have been a comfortable hit.
It opened with the highest debut in the franchise’s history, though closed out its run as a relative box office disappointment, making $129 million against an $80 million budget.
Arguably, the streaming performance of franchises like Mortal Kombat is now a higher priority than their big-screen success.
