Mortal Kombat Gets Dealt An Uppercut As It May Lose Its Box Office Crown In Its Second Weekend

Of course, the great bellwether for the return of theaters is the aforementioned Godzilla vs. Kong, which continues to earn big money on the big screen – and is notably no longer available to stream on HBO Max. Continuing to hold on to third place, the kaiju blockbuster added an additional $2.7 million to its domestic total since Friday, which means that it has now made over $90 million. This puts it only about $20 million shy of making more than Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, which made $110.5 million when it played across the continent in the summer of 2019. Despite the pandemic, the 2021 release has already out-grossed its predecessor globally, having earned $415.4 million (compared to the latter’s $386.6 million). The movie hasn’t even premiered in Japan yet either, as that particular release has been delayed due to unfortunate circumstances.
