Mortal Kombat II, the fourth installment in the live-action Mortal Kombat film series, starring The Boys star Karl Urban, is set to hit the big screen on May 8, 2026. The first film, which was released in 1995, grossed $122.2 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. The next two entries, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) and the 2021 reboot, earned $51.4 million and $84.4 million, respectively. So, all eyes are now on whether the upcoming martial arts fantasy sequel will be able to surpass its predecessors or not.
Early industry estimates from Box Office Theory suggest that Mortal Kombat II is projected to earn at least $40 million during its three-day opening weekend in North America. If it lives up to its projected domestic opening figure and maintains steady legs internationally, it could be well-positioned to surpass the first film’s global earnings and become the highest-grossing entry in the martial arts action franchise. While it remains to be seen if it achieves that target, let’s find out how much Mortal Kombat II must earn worldwide to break even at the box office.
