'Mortal Kombat' Release Date Has Been Delayed

JAKARTA - Warner Bros. postponed the release of the Mortal Kombat film for one week. Initially, it was scheduled to be released on April 16, now April 23.

This film adaptation of the popular video game will be Warner Bros' latest release for the first half of 2021. Previously, they only screened Godzilla vs Kong last week.

This delay is expected to give Mortal Kombat an advantage because the release is not close to Godzilla vs Kong.

Directed by Simon McQuoid, Mortal Kombat follows an unconscious MMA warrior who is being chased by a group of assassins. Worried for his family's safety, he looks for a team to fight the group.

This film is produced by James Wan, who directed Aquaman, The Conjuring, and Saw.

Mortal Kombat will be broadcasted in two formats, namely cinema and streaming service HBO Max simultaneously.
