"Mortal Kombat II" is set for digital streaming release on June 9, following an underwhelming theatrical run that began May 8. The sequel, directed by Simon McQuoid and starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, saw a solid $38.5 million opening but quickly plunged in subsequent weeks. Tasked with saving Earthrealm from Emperor Shao Kahn, the film features Lord Raiden and Sonya Blade recruiting Cage for the tournament. Despite a worldwide box office of $125.8 million against an $80 million budget, the studio's actual profit is uncertain after theater shares and marketing, jeopardizing the franchise's future, even with a third installment in development. Fans can purchase it for $24.99 or rent for $19.99 on PVOD platforms.

Focus Features is extending the theatrical-to-digital streaming window for Curry Barker's horror hit "Obsession," starring Inde Navarrette and Michael Johnston, due to its unexpected box office success. The film, made for just $750,000, opened on May 15 and has already grossed over $150 million worldwide. Its plot involves a man whose wish for his crush to love him back leads to a dangerous, deadly obsession. Originally slated for a June 2 digital release, the film's strong performance has prompted Focus to break from its usual 17-day window. It's now expected to follow Universal's future 45-day window, pushing its digital debut to late June, with potential for further delays if its theatrical run continues to thrive.
