How much has Mortal Kombat II earned in its domestic run?

The Karl Urban-starrer video game adaptation was released in May during the summer quarter, but it failed to make a mark at the box office. The video game adaptation opened with $38.5 million in its opening weekend and raked in $79.8 million by the end of its domestic run. It is the all-time highest-grossing film in this video game adaptation franchise.

How much is needed by Street Fighter to beat Mortal Kombat II in North America?

Street Fighter has a moderate target at the North American box office to surpass Mortal Kombat II. According to the number provided on Box Office Mojo, Jason Momoa starrer Street Fight needs an estimated $80 million to surpass the domestic haul of Mortal Kombat II. If it beats this Karl Urban starrer sequel, then the film will reign over the entire franchise as well.
