- International – $39.0 million
- Worldwide – $101.2 million
Can it break into the all-time top 5 of the highest-grossing video adaptations worldwide?
Mortal Kombat II is, at its core, a video game adaptation, and there are a bunch of movies in that genre. To break into the top 5, it would have to surpass Pokémon Detective Pikachu’s $449.7 million global haul. According to industry experts, Mortal Kombat II is tracking a global run between $135 million and $150 million. Therefore, breaking into the all-time top 5 highest-grossing video game adaptations is also unlikely. Karl Urban starrer will not even enter the top 10, as The Angry Birds Movie is at #10 with a $352.3 million global total.
