It wasn’t two weeks ago that Warner Bros. cinematic adaptation of Mortal Kombat<\/em> was teetering on the brink of The Pit. Initially, it seemed that the new movie was “indefinitely delayed”<\/a> due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, then it seemed that it was to be released directly to paid streaming service HBO Max, before WB shot that idea down.<\/p> However, it seems that Scorpion and crew will finally have their day. In an industry-shaking piece of news, Warner Bros. Studios has announced that its entire movie slate for 2021 will launch in theaters and<\/em> on HBO Max simultaneously, allowing audiences to choose where they wish to view the latest blockbusters in the current climate – unlikely to return to normalcy for the foreseeable future.<\/p> Mortal Kombat<\/em> is among a string of major WB releases that will premiere on both the big and the small screen in 2021. Other titles include Denis Villeneuve’s Dune<\/em>, DC Comics’ Wonder Woman ’84<\/em> and The Suicide Squad<\/em>, the fourth entry in The Matrix<\/em> franchise and, most importantly, Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em>. These and other films will be available for streaming on HBO Max for 30 days from the date of their North American theatrical premiere.<\/p>
