Mortal Kombat II Crosses $100 Million Worldwide After Sharp Second-Weekend Drop
The sequel remains well short of common break-even targets.
Overview
- In its second weekend, the film added $13.4 million in the U.S., lifting its domestic total to about $62.2 million and its global haul to roughly $101–101.2 million.
- The movie fell to fourth place at the domestic box office with a drop of about 65 percent, signaling a weak hold after a front-loaded debut.
- It has already topped the 2021 Mortal Kombat’s lifetime totals, clearing that film’s $42.3 million domestic and $84.4 million global results in under two weeks.
- With a reported $80 million production budget, the movie has covered that figure in gross but remains far from typical break-even levels around $200 million because studios receive only a share of ticket sales.
- Coverage notes the opening landed slightly below projections, and with overseas growth at about $39 million across 78 markets, future legs and premium-screen access will shape whether a planned third film keeps momentum.
