    Question... Will cinema's here hold off on releasing these movies until we exit lockdown or are we likely to miss the theatrical run?

    I'd say we're likely to miss it, but no doubt they will be shown again down the line. I'll watch it however I can as soon as it's available, but I'm 100% going to see it in cinema at some point if possible!

    looks great. Trailer gives away some very exciting points.
    Cole looks VERY like sub-zero.

    One thing I noticed that I seem to see is missed, where the guy who becomes scorpion is fighting the others ninja, you can actually see his frozen wife and child in the background, very quickly!

    The release date has been pushed back by a week now till April 23th.


    I think HBO worked out that if people signed up for just a month the day the Snyder cut got released they would have gotten the Snyder Cut, Godzilla vs Kong and Mortal Kombat all in the one month.

    No word on how to legally watch it over here, ie: possible to get HBO max in Ireland legally? I'd pay for 4K...

    Can you get stuff from the Sky Store without a subscription/already a customer? And do we know if they drop the quality?

    Edit: I Googled, can rent the movies without a sub but the subject of quality is up in the air.

    Quality is a lot better than the likes of now TV. They cap at 720p. For example the UHD version of Godzilla v Kong on sky is 2160p. Also available as 4K on Google play for €17.99 so Id say MK will be the same

    Yeah I imagine based on WW1984 and GvK this will be available on Google Store for rent at 17.99 in 4K if you're pushed.

    I mean they had to squeeze it in somewhere, even if it's just played over the end credits. Would have been uproar if they didn't.

    I'll be disappointed if they don't slip this version in somewhere

    That song was going well till the stupid bit at the end... As for kid, fair play for trying...

    I am excite! I've been avoiding everything, which has been hard as WB on Facebook seem to want to spoil a lot of it.

    The CGI blood ain't great but that was a legitimately good scene. Maybe maybe maybe. The video game movie curse might finally be lifted.

    To be fair, the recent MK story modes are one of the few games I've just watched the cut scenes for.

    I've been trying to avoid everything for this movie, I'm very excited! Anybody know where it'll be available yet? I'm guessing Google Play/Youtube and Sky Cinema.

    Its hitting hbo max first. Which we cannot get over here and judging by previous hbo max released films it will be available on the sky store but not right away.

    It will be available tomorrow in the UK on VOD through Amazon Prime so I'd have a good guess it will be the same here.
    HBO Max is not available in the UK just yet, but Mortal Kombat will be releasing as a VOD through Amazon Prime Video. The movie will cost £15.99 to rent in the UK from April 23.

    I'd imagine it will also be on Google, iTunes & other VOD services.

    Is there VOD on Amazon Prime here? Used to have the UK region before but now on the Irish one and can't find any VOD on the app.

    Doesn't look like we're getting it here at all, someone shared this on twitter earlier, I wonder are they holding it over for cinemas reopening in the UK and here?

    https://www.standard.co.uk/business/cineworld-cinemas-mortal-kombat-warner-bros-b925674.html

    Also the WB UK twitter account has absolutely no mention of it https://twitter.com/WarnerBrosUK?s=09

    "Sorry UK folks...at present there are no UK release plans confirmed or announced."

    Absolutely zero reason why this shouldn't be on Google Play to rent given GvK was.

    Hungry **** must be banking on a cinema release.
