Overview
- Studio estimates Sunday put The Devil Wears Prada 2 at $43 million in its second weekend and Mortal Kombat II at $40 million in its debut, keeping Prada No. 1 in North America.
- The Prada sequel climbed to about $433 million worldwide after strong international holds, while Mortal Kombat II started softer overseas with roughly $23 million for a $63 million global opening.
- Audience makeup split sharply by gender as PostTrak showed Mortal Kombat II drew about 75% men, and Mother’s Day traffic helped Prada’s largely female turnout sustain smaller drops.
- Lionsgate’s Michael placed third with about $36.5 million in week three for $240 million domestic and $577 million global, as The Sheep Detectives opened to $15.9 million and the Billie Eilish 3D concert film earned $7.5 million domestically.
- Mortal Kombat II cost an estimated $80 million and follows a 2021 predecessor released day-and-date on streaming, so its long run now depends on word of mouth and upcoming overseas play.
