IT was a box-office combat of the sequels as Mortal Kombat II released world-wide this weekend, hoping to wrest the coronate from The fiend Wears Prada 2.

On Sunday, Michael surpassed Mortal Kombat II, earning $13.2 million to the video game adaptation's $9.5 million.Paul Dergarabedian, the head of marketplace trends for Comscore, said Mother's Day might have helped The Devil Wears Prada 2 gain an edge over the newcomer, yet it still had a modest 44% dip in weekend two. “The release date was perfect,” Dergarabedian told AP. “This may be the new blueprint for how to start a summer.”The other new releasesThis weekend had a wide variety of newcomers playing in wide release, including the family-friendly whodunnit The Sheep Detectives and a James Cameron co-directed Billie Eilish concert film.The Sheep Detectives brought in $15.9 million in its first weekend in 3,457 theatres and settled into the fourth spot.
