For the first time since the pandemic struck, not one, but two movies brought in notable ticket sales at the domestic box office. It’s the clearest indication yet that people appear ready to return to the movies after nearly a year of staying home to stream.,” a martial arts-inspired adaptation of the popular video game, led U.S. box office charts, taking in a robust $22.5 million from 3,073 North American venues.
Box office analysts have been encouraged by the one-two punch of “Mortal Kombat” and “Demon Slayer,” especially since only about 50% of cinemas in the country have reopened. Multiplexes that have been able to welcome back patrons have been capping attendance in line with government guidelines. In Los Angeles, for example, that means 50% capacity or 200 people. In New York, theaters are currently operating at 25% capacity and will be able to expand to 33% starting on Monday.
Overseas, “Mortal Kombat” collected $6.3 million from 37 foreign territories, brings its international tally to $27.6 million. The film, produced by New Line Cinemas for a modest $55 million, has generated $50 million globally to date.
I am happy it does well, there is too much potential to be left buried but i really hope they get a complete new creative team and an more capable director for the next movie. And for Gods sake, write Cole Turner out. The worst character, pure vanilla and cant act worth shit
How are the reviews on it?
I watched on HBO Max last night. Turned it off half way through. Can’t imagine what theater goers were feeling.
Did Demon Slayer get better reviews though?
