Which company distributed Mortal Kombat II theatrically?

Warner Bros. Pictures distributed Mortal Kombat II theatrically. The sequel was produced by New Line Cinema, Atomic Monster, Broken Road Productions, and Fireside Films, but production and distribution are separate roles: New Line is a Warner Bros. label, while Warner Bros. Pictures handled the theatrical release.

The film continues the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot directed by Simon McQuoid. It brings back characters and performers from the first movie while expanding the mythology with figures such as Johnny Cage, Kitana, and Jade. Its theatrical release followed a production period in Australia that was interrupted by the 2023 actors’ strike.

A common mix-up is confusing Warner Bros. Pictures with New Line Cinema. New Line is the production studio associated with the film, whereas Warner Bros. Pictures is the distributor named in the film’s credits. The title is also distinct from Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, the 1997 sequel distributed by New Line itself.
