Street Fighter by Kitao Sakurai is set to be released in a few days, and discussions about its box office prospects are already all over the media. Mortal Kombat II was also released this year, and it is very similar to the upcoming video game adaptation. Both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat II bring martial arts, tournament-style fights, and larger-than-life combat to the big screen. This makes their box-office race an interesting one to watch through the end of the year. To come out on top, how much will Street Fighter need to earn domestically to surpass Mortal Kombat II’s North American total? Keep scrolling to find out!
How much has Mortal Kombat II earned in its domestic run?
The Karl Urban-starrer video game adaptation was released in May during the summer quarter, but it failed to make a mark at the box office. The video game adaptation opened with $38.5 million in its opening weekend and raked in $79.8 million by the end of its domestic run. It is the all-time highest-grossing film in this video game adaptation franchise.
How much is needed by Street Fighter to beat Mortal Kombat II in North America?
Street Fighter has a moderate target at the North American box office to surpass Mortal Kombat II. According to the number provided on Box Office Mojo, Jason Momoa starrer Street Fight needs an estimated $80 million to surpass the domestic haul of Mortal Kombat II. If it beats this Karl Urban starrer sequel, then the film will reign over the entire franchise as well.

Meanwhile, media reports and the early estimates claim that Jason Momoa starrer upcoming film is tracking to earn between $25 million and $35 million in its opening weekend in North America. Even if it lands in the upper end of this projection, it will not be able to beat the opening weekend collection of Mortal Kombat‘s sequel in North America. However, the numbers are subject to change at the time of its release.
