Both the Mortal Kombat movie and Venom: Let There Be Cಞarnage have had their release dates pushed bac💧k another week.

Mortal Kombat will now debut in theaters and on HBO Max on April 23 instead of April 16, while the Venom sequel is noꦕw set for t🐎heatrical release on September 24 instead of September 17. 

In the case of Mortal Kombat, this could be because of the release of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Godzilla vs. Kong – it wouldn't make sense for Warner Bros. to pit another of its movies against the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best performing pandemic release at the international box office. 

The long-awaited video game adaptation has Aquaman director James Wan on board as producer and promises to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:push its R rating to the limit – and we know we can expect something more than just another video game movie. "I don’t look at it as a video game movie. I look at it as a martial arts movie," producer Todd Garner 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recently told GamesRadar+. "There’s much more successful roads to making a good martial arts movie. There’s been lo💯ads and loads of them – and not so many good video game movies." It seems like it'll be worth the wait.

Meanwhile, with Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the change ensures enough space between the debut of the Marvel antihero sequel and other big name releases coming out this summer, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn's upcoming The Suicide Squad. Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock (AKA Venom), alongside Woody Harrelson, Michelle Will💝iams, and N💖aomie Harris. 

While we wait for the two blockbusters to finally hit the big (and small) screen, check out our list of the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies to get excited about this year. And if you don't have a subscription yet, you can find the best 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:HBO Max prices here.
