Mortal Kombat II roars to $17M Friday, leading the box office
Mortal Kombat II opened at No. 1 with about $17 million on Friday, overtaking The Devil Wears Prada 2 ($9.8M) in second, while Michael (the Michael Jackson biopic) is third with $8.8M; Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft – The Tour Live in 3D is fourth with $4.5M and The Sheep Detectives rounds out the top five with just over $4M. The Post criticized MK II as an "onscreen bucket of slop" and a "migraine of nonstop fights and idiot characters," reflecting mixed reviews despite the strong debut.
