Mortal Kombat II is scheduled to move from theaters to premium digital platforms on June 9, 2026, giving the Warner Bros. sequel an earlier home-viewing window after a box office run reported at roughly $128 million worldwide.
The release is not a subscription-streaming debut in the usual sense. It is a premium video-on-demand release, meaning viewers are expected to buy or rent the movie through digital storefronts rather than stream it as part of a monthly service. The source material names Apple TV, Prime Video, Fandango at Home and YouTube Movies & TV as expected digital platforms.
Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has also laid out a physical release plan, with 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD editions scheduled for July 28, 2026.
What the Digital Release Includes
The home release gives Mortal Kombat II a second commercial window after its theatrical run. The film opened in theaters on May 8, 2026, and the digital launch arrives a little under six weeks later.
The reported premium digital price is $24.99 to purchase. A rental price of $19.99 has also been reported, though rental availability can vary by platform and region. Because prices and storefront pages can change, buyers should confirm the final price on their preferred service before ordering.

The Sequel’s Theatrical Picture
Mortal Kombat II follows the 2021 reboot of the fighting-game franchise. Simon McQuoid, who directed the previous film, returned for the sequel.
The movie’s reported worldwide box office total stands at about $128 million, including roughly $79.1 million from North America and $48.9 million internationally. The source material also reports an $80 million production budget before marketing costs.
Those numbers explain why the digital release is being watched closely. A theatrical gross does not return in full to a studio, and marketing expenses are not included in a production budget. That makes premium digital purchases, rentals and later physical media part of the broader revenue picture for a film like this.
The theater count also narrowed sharply late in the run. The film reportedly opened in 3,503 North American theaters and later fell to 478 venues after being in 1,603 theaters the previous week. That kind of drop is one reason a studio may shift attention to home entertainment while the title is still fresh in the market.
Cast and Story Context
The sequel brings Karl Urban into the franchise as Johnny Cage, the movie-star fighter long associated with the games. The story centers on Earthrealm’s fighters facing Emperor Shao Kahn in a Mortal Kombat tournament.
The cast listed for the film includes Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn, Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Josh Lawson as Kano, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Lewis Tan as Cole Young, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang and Tati Gabrielle as Jade. Hiroyuki Sanada also returns as Hanzo Hasashi, also known as Scorpion.
One correction matters for readers checking suitability: while the source text described the film as PG, home-entertainment listings identify Mortal Kombat II as rated R. Viewers planning a rental or purchase should treat the R rating as the relevant guidance.
Physical Release Extras
The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions are expected to include five production featurettes. Based on the announced materials, those extras focus on the sequel’s characters, sets, fighting style and connection to the longer Mortal Kombat franchise.
The listed featurettes are:
- Mortal Kombat II: Evolving the Saga
- Building the Realms of Mortal Kombat
- Mortal Kombat II: Choose Your Fighter
- Klose Quarters Kombat
- A Boon to Gamers Everywhere
The last featurette centers on Ed Boon, one of the franchise’s key creators, and the larger history of Mortal Kombat across games, films and related media.
How It Compares With the 2021 Release
The 2021 Mortal Kombat movie had a very different release environment. It arrived during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Warner Bros. was using a day-and-date model that placed its theatrical releases on HBO Max at the same time they opened in cinemas.
That makes a direct box office comparison imperfect. The 2021 film was reported at $84.4 million worldwide, split almost evenly between domestic and international markets, but its theatrical ceiling was affected by both pandemic conditions and the same-day streaming strategy.
Mortal Kombat II has followed a more conventional theatrical-to-home path. Its June 9 digital date and July 28 disc release show Warner Bros. moving the sequel into paid home viewing while the theatrical numbers are still recent, rather than waiting for a later subscription-streaming window.
