For the whole year, Warner Bros. has been releasing blockbuster releases on HBO Max on the same day as their theatrical premieres, and Mortal Kombat became one of those movies in April.
Per Variety, studio executives at Warner Bros. say streaming metrics on HBO Max have been in line with ticket sales.
The report specifically names Mortal Kombat as one of these movies, noting that the studio is “developing other characters in its Mortal Kombat universe.”
In other words, when a Warner Bros. movie performs well at the box office, it has typically drawn high viewership numbers with its streaming on HBO Max as well.
