'Mortal Kombat II' Gets One More Fight After Box Office Knockout




Warner Bros. has had more success with original movies in the last year or so than with IP-driven fare. Sure, movies such as Final Destination Bloodlines and The Conjuring: Last Rites have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box-office, but they were always expected to. The more impressive feat was getting films such as Sinners, Weapons, and One Battle After Another to become mainstream hits. The studio has another major original movie on its slate this year: Alejando G. Iñárritu's Digger, starring Tom Cruise. It's a huge, very expensive risk that needs to do The Revenant-level business to succeed. The studio began 2026 with yet another filmmaker-driven hit: Wuthering Heights, which grossed $242 million worldwide against a reported budget of $80 million. However, two subsequent franchise films have significantly underperformed.
