Post Mortal Kombat Predictions
This is the next theatrical release with a chance a big business. The trailers have been well received and people are nostalgic for the original. In non Covid times I’d say 40m+, but even with Covid I think it can have the second biggest pandemic opening with 18m.

This definitely feels like the second most hyped film of the year after Godzilla Vs. Kong and in normal times I could have easily seen it opening to $30-$40M, especially after seeing how GVK has been peforming so far.

I don't see why it can't atleast hit high teens if not $20M+,but it always felt like the type of film that would have been massively frontloaded anyways no matter when or where it opened.

I can see it opening lesser than GvK. I believe GvK did well because a lot of families can enjoy this movie without knowing other movies. And while that would also be the case for MK as well as its a reboot. A majority of its fanbase comes from online gaming and nostalgia which in this case might not translate to theatrical business but better than expected home media business.

I still think it will be good for $15m-$20m opening.

I think people want cheesy escapism right now so this is going to dramatically overperform.

With a lot of people showing up for GvK I expect more people to feel comfortable going to the theater moving forward. I think over $18m seems doable.

Again what you call cheesy might not be true for everyone. Regardless it has good enough fanbase and nostalgia to pull $20m OW but I don't expect it to surprise and open to say $30M.

I think the spacing between these “blockbusters” will also help them.

It will certainly help having the trailer with GvK. I don't know about OW but a 40-50 Million total seems about right.
