Mortal Kombat II Worldwide Box Office ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Mortal Kombat II, the fourth installment in the live-action Mortal Kombat franchise, which is based on the popular video game series, is set to be released in U.S. theaters on May 8, 2026. Keeping in mind the current buzz surrounding the upcoming martial arts fantasy film, it looks like the Karl Urban starrer could aim to become the highest-grossing Hollywood action movie of 2026.

However, since it belongs to a different genre, it won’t directly overlap with the target audience. That said, box office …
