WarnerMedia is preparing to sever its four decades long distribution alliance with Roadshow Films, moving its product to Universal Pictures in Australia.
New Line Cinema's 'Mortal Kombat', inspired by the blockbuster video game franchise, was shot in Adelaide and directed Simon McQuoid. Producers include James Wan, Todd Garner, McQuoid and E. Bennett Walsh.
For the first time in quite a while, last weekend saw major new releases enter the Australian theatrical market, in the form of Ridley Scott's 'The Last Duel' and Aussie James Wan's horror 'Malignant'.
'M3GAN' and 'Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre' each enjoyed healthy debuts over the weekend, though 'Avatar: The Way of Water' remains far and away the main attraction at the box office.
While the first instalment called Adelaide home, 'Mortal Kombat 2' is set to shoot on the Gold Coast at Village Roadshow Studios.
