Mortal Kombat 2: New stills give us our first look at Johnny Cage, Kitana, Scorpion and Shao Khan

After narrowly losing first place in its opening weekend, “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” has surged ahead of “Mortal Kombat” on U.S. box office charts.

The anime action-adventure “Demon Slayer” is expected to end the weekend with $6.4 million in ticket sales, while “Mortal Kombat” trails closely behind with $6.2 million between Friday and Sunday. Both films debuted last weekend and dipped roughly 70% from their initial outings.

In normal times, those figures would have been somewhat disappointing for nationwide releases but during a pandemic, it’s not a terrible result. Still, it leaves lingering questions about when moviegoing will return in earnest -- and if upcoming potential blockbusters like “A Quiet Place Part II,” Marvel’s “Black Widow” and “Fast and Furious” sequel “F9” will premiere as expected this summer.

“Demon Slayer,” which is playing in 1,915 North American venues, has earned an impressive $34.1 million in the U.S. and Canada to date. The film, from Funimation and Aniplex, has surpassed “Dragon Ball: Super Broly” ($30 million) to become the third-highest grossing anime title in North America.

Overseas, the latest 'Demon Slayer'&nbsp;has already set several box office records. In Japan, it has become the highest-grossing movie ever with ticket sales surpassing $368 million. It’s also the highest-grossing anime film ever with $423 million globally.

'Mortal Kombat',&nbsp;a martial arts-inspired adaptation of the popular video game, has grossed $34 million in two weeks. Those receipts are notable because the Warner Bros. release is playing simultaneously on HBO Max. The studio’s entire 2021 slate, including “In the Heights” and “The Suicide Squad,” is following a similar rollout pattern.

Internationally, where HBO Max has yet to launch, “Mortal Kombat” hasn’t been well embraced by audiences. It added another $3 million this weekend for a total haul of $32.8 million. Worldwide, “Mortal Kombat” has passed $66 million in ticket sales.

In third place, “Godzilla vs. Kong,” a Warner Bros. and Legendary film, collected $2.7 million from 2,753 screens. That brings its domestic total to $90 million. The monster mashup has become a hit overseas, where it has grossed $325 million, pushing its global-bounty to $415 million.

The Horror movie “Separation” opened in fourth, pulling in $1.8 million from 1,751 venues. The Open Road and Briarcliff release got terrible reviews, with Variety’s critic Nick Schager calling the supernatural thriller about a creepy doll that haunts a widower and his daughter a “dull and misogynistic affair.” On Rotten Tomatoes, it averaged a dismal 11%.

Universal’s action thriller “Nobody” rounded out the top five, amassing $1.2 million in its sixth weekend of release. In total, the Bob Odenkirk-led film has made $23 million. The movie is currently available to rent on demand for $20 due to an agreement between Universal and movie theatre chains like AMC and Cinemark, which allows the studio to debut its films on digital rental services early.

Among specialty releases, “Four Good Days” debuted in 298 venues and earned $303,000 over the weekend, averaging $1,017 per location. The drama, starring Glenn Close as a mother who attempts to help her heroin-addicted daughter (Mila Kunis) pursue sobriety, premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival to mixed reviews.

The Focus Features comedic drama “Limbo” also opened this weekend, grossing $90,000 from 208 theatres for a weak $434 per-screen average. The well-reviewed movie takes place on a fictional remote Scottish island and centres on a group of new arrivals as their await the results of their asylum claims.

After narrowly losing first place in its opening weekend, “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” has surged ahead of “Mortal Kombat” on U.S. box office charts. The anime action-adventure “Demon Slayer” is expected to end the weekend with $6.

'Demon Slayer' overtakes 'Mortal Kombat' at US box office

Hollywood flicks `Mortal Kombat` and `Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba` are currently locked in a fierce battle for dominance at the box office, with the latter holding a slight edge over the other. 
 
According to Variety, `Demon Slayer` is on top at this point as it earned USD 9.5 million from 1,598 locations on Friday. The Funimation and Aniplex of America release is based on an anime series and entered the U.S. after enjoying huge financial success in other markets, having already grossed more than USD 400 million in Japan and shattering records. 
 
`Mortal Kombat`, the blood-soaked adaptation of the popular video game has grossed a sizable (for a pandemic) USD 9 million on Friday and is headed towards an opening weekend of USD 18 million to USD 19 million. 
 
This is an impressive sum given the public health crisis and is also notable because `Mortal Kombat` carries an R rating, somewhat limiting its potential audience. The film is screening in 3,073 venues, a far wider footprint than the one enjoyed by `Demon Slayer`.The Warner Bros. release has debuted simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. It`s part of the studio`s gambit to shake up the way it`s distributing its films in the COVID era. 
 
All of Warner Bros.` 2021 slate will debut on the streaming service at the same time the films premiere in theatres. The strategy is designed to bolster HBO Max at a time when it is trying to make a name for itself in the crowded streaming space.`Godzilla vs. Kong`, a Warner Bros. and Legendary release, came in third with just over USD 1.1 million. 
 
The monster mashup earned $83.5 million over its first four weeks. Theatres have begun slowly reopening as vaccination rates rise, but major markets such as New York City and Los Angeles are still operating at reduced capacity.`Mortal Kombat` cost USD 55 million to produce. 
 
It is directed by Simon McQuoid, who made his feature debut with this movie that stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada. 
 
The game, which first appeared in 1992 and was controversial for its violence, inspired two previous films, one that opened in 1995 and a follow-up, `Mortal Kombat: Annihilation`, which hit theaters in 1997. 
 
As per Variety, among other wide releases, Disney`s `Raya and the Last Dragon` earned USD 400,000 on Friday, pushing its domestic total to USD 38.6 million after 8 weeks. The movie is also available for rent via Disney Plus.&nbsp;

'Demon Slayer', 'Mortal Kombat' are locked in box office dominance battle

Video game franchise "Mortal Kombat" has pushed the limits of violence and gore since it arrived in arcades in 1992, but toned-down cinematic spinoffs failed to impress some fans.

‘Mortal Kombat’ movie brings fantasy violence to screens

American subscription-based streaming service HBO Max has shared a clip featuring glimpses of the platform`s upcoming movies that are making their way to the big screens and the streamer in 2021.

Giving fans a sneak peek into what`s coming this year, the streaming platform took to Twitter and revealed the slate of forthcoming movies, which will be releasing on the streaming platform on the same day as their theatrical releases.

The brand new promo gave fans extended looks at LeBron James` `Space Jam` follow-up, the `Sopranos` prequel `The Many Saints of Newark`, the Serena and Venus Williams biographical drama `King Richard` starring Will Smith, the video game adaptation `Mortal Kombat` and the horror sequel `The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It`.Brief glimpses were also showcased for the psychological thriller `Reminiscence` starring Hugh Jackman, `Those Who Wish Me Dead` with Angelina Jolie, and Clint Eastwood`s `Cry Macho`.

Meanwhile, ‘Mortal Kombat’ is based on the popular video game series about a martial arts tournament held for the fate of the world. It is being directed by Simon McQuoid.&nbsp;
