Mortal Kombat’ Red Band Trailer Breaks Viewership Records
EXCLUSIVE: The viewership for New Line’s red band trailer of Mortal Kombat has clocked 116M views in its first week, becoming the biggest red band trailer of all-time, besting the 4-day mark of Logan and Deadpool 2 and continuing to do so.
The trailer for the Simon McQuoid directed feature trended in 52 total markets on YouTube and 28 total markets on Twitter, registering a 98% Positive-to-Neutral social sentiment rating.
Separately, RelishMix tells us that the viral reposting rate for Mortal Kombat is a very high 47:1 ratio.
The trailer received high praise from fans across Reddit and video gaming news sites such as GameSpot and NintendoWire, some who’ve been quite skeptical about video game adaptations. GameSpot beamed, “It’s loaded with the kind of blood, gore, and crazy superhuman abilities fans of the video game series have come to expect… It’s also packed with a bunch of iconic characters from the franchise, giving them each time to shine (and mutilate their opponents)… Our first look at Jax’s cybernetic arms is pretty impressive.”

The latest trailer for Mortal Kombat even caught the attention of Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter:
Mortal Kombat was launched by Midway in 1992. The game focuses on several characters of various intentions who enter a martial arts tournament with worldly consequences. The logline for the latest New Line movie: MMA fighter Cole Young (Lewis Tan) seeks out Earth’s greatest champions in order to stand against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe.
There were two Mortal Kombat movies in 1995 and a sequel in 1997 which combined grossed $173.4M WW. The first movie opened to No. 1 with a strong 3-day at the time of $23.2M stateside.
This latest iteration of Mortal Kombat debuts in theaters and on HBO Max on April 16.
Back in 2017, the first trailer for New Line’s It smashed then global 24-hour traffic records with 197M views, blowing past the previous record set by Universal’s The Fate of the Furious (139M).
Below are fan reactions to the trailer:

All the Mortal Kombat threads need to be merge including my thread.
nah bro its himWhere???
Edit: thought that was one of da ninja cyborgs.
Mileena doesn't look true to form.
Movie got pushed back a week....
It was a joke!Nigga, Chun Li is in Street Fighter, not MK.
will be watching at 3 am in the morning lol
I just figured out who Jax is...
Jax actor for MK 2 and 3
Actually going to the theater to check this out.
It was good, watched this morning
Movie was straight ass. How was it good?
I was entertained. Had no expectations... Enjoyed it. Have no idea who the new guy is which was wack but other than that, I liked it for a reboot to the franchise
That Bird Bitch caught the "L" of a lifetime
I'm disappointed. Movie wasn't ass but should've and could've been much more. Better than the original movies but that's not saying much. Opening minutes with Scorpion vs Sub Zero that were released online were the best parts of the movie for me
And how da hell was Sub Zero still alive after all dem centuries?
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET READ NO FURTHER!!!It was good and stupid at the same time. You're not gonna get a deep story and exposition from a movie based on a video game where the title is intentionally misspelled. The good they went out of their way to bring the video game to life with the special effects a d the explanation of how the warriors get powers and are able to use them. I liked every thing with scorpion and subzero. The bad : the script. It takes more than f-bombs to make an r rating. If the dialogue falls on the cheesy side then it might as well be PG 13.
One thing I didnt like was they killed off goro a lillte early and it was cole who kied him in his own backyard by the fucking toolshed gotdammit Hollywood. Goro is shang tsung's champion which leads to another complaint. This movie had no sense of buildup. I don't know whatever like I said it's a dumb action flick based on a video game. A video game where a random guy pops into the screen randomly that yells "toasty" a game that didn't take itself to seriously movie took itself kind of seriously we wanted this film to take itself a little more seriously but I guess it's whatever at least the gore and special effects where on point. Themovie set it self up for a sequel a d hopefully they turn it up a notch. I give it a 3 out of 5
Somebody said that Cole Young's real name is Studio Interference....
I would've been pissed to have bought a ticket to see this shit in da theater. Looks low budget and bootleg as fuck. Bogus ass movie only good for a lil' afternoon watch. For as cheesy as it was, da OG version >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sick of this female empowerment bullshit. Sonya can take on a 200lb grown man no problem, but gets her ass kicked by another woman her size if not smaller?? And Cole struggled with her too??? GTFOHWTBS
Kung Lao and Kabal were dope though. Two of my fav characters from the game.
