Mortal Kombat II is struggling at the box office in North America, not just against the tentpole giants, but also against micro-budget indie horror Obsession. The film, however, is clinging to hopes of killing it at the box office by the end of its theatrical run, beating other notable movies of the year. It has recently surpassed the domestic haul of Sam Raimi’s horror flick, Send Help, but will be able to beat this year’s top-grossing romance drama, Wuthering Heights. Keep scrolling for the deets.
Mortal Kombat II at the domestic box office
The R-rated fighting game adaptation experienced a harsh drop on its second discounted Tuesday at the box office in North America. It collected $1.4 million on its second discounted Tuesday, which is the biggest second Tuesday ever for fighting game adaptations. It went down by 62.1% from last Tuesday, reaching $64.8 million at the domestic box office. It will soon surpass Mortal Kombat’s lifetime domestic box-office total.
Surpasses Send Help & on track to beat Wuthering Heights
According to Box Office Mojo‘s latest numbers, Mortal Kombat II has surpassed the domestic haul of Send Help and is on track to beat the domestic haul of Wuthering Heights. For the record, Send Help is one of the most critically acclaimed horror movies of this year, with a 92% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, whereas Mortal Kombat II received only 64%. Send Help collected $64.7 million at the domestic box office over its lifetime.

The Karl urban starrer has surpassed that collection already in just 12 days. Despite the slow box-office performance, the video game adaptation manages to surpass a critically acclaimed survival-horror thriller. The next in line is Wuthering Heights, which is the biggest romance drama of the year. The Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi starrer movie collected $84 million at the North American box office. Since Mortal Kombat II is tracking to gross between $80 million and $90 million at the domestic box office during its theatrical run, the Karl Urban starrer would surpass Wuthering Heights domestically.
