"“I never want to be cocky about how anything's going to land or play. You think about it, and you theorize it,” he told Entertainment Weekly."
"“If a third movie gets greenlit, and if I'm tapped to return to direct, there's so much to draw from,” he said. “That's both overwhelming and really exciting. There's always a, 'What about that character?' It never really stops.”"
"Mortal Kombat 2 made $40 million over its first weekend in North America and $23 million from international markets for a global start of $63 million. The numbers are below some expectations, and the film cost an estimated $80 million to make prior to marketing expenses."
"There are numerous more video game movies in development, including a new Resident Evil film in September and a Street Fighter movie in October. As for the Mortal Kombat game series, series developer NetherRealm hasn't announced any new games, but it's possible."
Mortal Kombat 2 is playing in theaters and earning money at the box office, but a third installment has not been confirmed. A report claimed writer Jeremy Slater would return for a third movie, while director Simon McQuoid said he does not want to be overly confident about whether another film will happen. He said that if a third movie is approved and he is asked to direct, there is a lot to draw from in the Mortal Kombat universe, with ongoing possibilities for character stories. Mortal Kombat 2 opened with $63 million globally, with $40 million in North America and $23 million internationally, against an estimated $80 million production cost. Reviews were mixed, and additional video game movies are scheduled, including Resident Evil and Street Fighter.
