Weekend Box Office: DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 Beats Out MORTAL KOMBAT II

Despite "Mortal Kombat II" scoring a decent opening weekend, "The Devil Wears Prada 2" emerged victorious in this battle of the sequels, and continues to dominate the box office. Overall, it was a pretty good weekend for theaters with previous releases like "Michael" still going strong alongside "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" and "Project Hail Mary". New releases over the weekend include "The Sheep Detectives" starring Hugh Jackman, and the concert film "Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft - The Tour Live in 3D", but both struggled to find their audience.

Weekend Box Office: DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 Dominates With $76.7 Million Debut

"The Devil Wears Prada 2" stormed the box office over the weekend, taking down last week's #1 film "Michael", which is still going strong alongside "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" and "Project Hail Mary", effectively shutting out any other new releases from the top spots. The newly released horror film "Hokum" was the only new semi-wide release to perform well enough, while Angel Studios' "Animal Farm" and Renny Harlin's "Deep Water" tanked.

Weekend Box Office: MICHAEL Scores Record-Breaking $97.2 Million Debut

As expected, the Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" exploded with a record-breaking debut that made up two-thirds of the entire weekend box office. Meanwhile, "Super Mario Galaxy" and "Project Hail Mary" are still holding strong, while smaller, semi-wide new releases like "Over Your Dead Body", "Fuze" and "Desert Warrior" struggled to find their audience.

Weekend Box Office: SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE Tops Third Frame While LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY Stumbles

"The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" and "Project Hail Mary" are still leading the pack at the box office, which leaves little room for new contenders to break in. Meanwhile, Blumhouse's latest horror film "Lee Cronin's The Mummy" and the action thriller "Normal" starring Bob Odenkirk both underperformed in their debut.

Weekend Box Office: SUPER MARIO GALAXY Conquers Second Frame And Crosses the $300 Million Milestone

"The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" performed extremely well in its second weekend and still dominates the box office, while "Project Hail Mary" is also holding strong in second place. Even the R-rated dark dramedy "The Drama" starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, is doing a lot better than expected. With such strong competition in the top spots, new arrivals like the romantic comedy "You, Me & Tuscany" and the horror film "Faces of Death", were left struggling and barely made a dent.

Weekend Box Office: PROJECT HAIL MARY Continues To Dominate in Sophomore Frame

"Project Hail Mary" continues to surprise everyone with how well it's performing. The Ryan Gosling starrer absolutely dominated the Top 10 in its second weekend, but it didn't have much in the way of competition, as only two small budget horror flicks were released over the weekend: "They Will Kill You" and "Forbidden Fruits". Neither made much of an impression.

Weekend Box-Office: PROJECT HAIL MARY Explodes With $80.5 Million

"Project Hail Mary" scored a big win for the sci-fi genre, effortlessly dominating the box office with a surprisingly solid debut, and demonstrating that you don't need a proven IP to get moviegoers into theaters. Another surprising debut is that of the Bollywood sequel "Dhurandhar: The Revenge", which broke the record for the biggest opening weekend of all-time for a Bollywood film in North America. Sadly, the horror sequel "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" didn't do so well.
