Box-Office Duel: Mortal Kombat II and Prada 2 Aim for $40M Openings
Mortal Kombat II and Devil Wears Prada 2 are headlining this weekend’s box office with roughly $40–$42 million openings each, setting up a tight No. 1 race. Prada 2 is also posting strong global numbers, with ten-day domestic near $143.8 million and overseas totals surpassing the original; MK II opened with about $5.2 million in Thursday previews and is tracking toward a $40M+ weekend, aided by premium formats. Prada 2 is expected to get a Mother's Day boost on Sunday. Other titles in play include The Sheep Detectives and Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard & Soft, with overall guidance pointing to a Mother's Day-driven bump for Prada 2 and a solid hold for Michael and others.
