Michael reclaims the top spot at the domestic box office, edging out The Devil Wears Prada 2 and leaving Guy Ritchie’s In the Grey in the dust. Meanwhile, the cult sequel continues its stronghold performance while Mortal Kombat II fades.
This weekend, Michael, the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, surged back to the top of the domestic box office , unseating last weekend's champion, Mortal Kombat II, and pushing Obsessions, the surprise horror hit, to fourth place.
The second spot was claimed by The Devil Wears Prada 2, another strong holdover from previous weeks. The sequel, featuring the return of key figures from the original, has become a major box-office draw, two decades after the first film's release. Director David Frankel, screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, and the core cast—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt—all reprised their roles, bringing back the magic of the cult classic.
The first film, released in 2006 with a modest $40 million budget, earned an impressive $325 million worldwide. The sequel’s reported $100 million production budget underscores the high stakes for this long-awaited return, further cementing the franchise’s cultural impact.
Meanwhile, Guy Ritchie’s latest film, In the Grey, made an underwhelming debut, marking his worst domestic opening in nearly twenty years. The disappointments contrasted sharply with the continued success of The Sheep Detectives, which maintained a solid performance in its second weekend. Michael continues its staggering box-office run, surpassing $700 million and inching closer toward the coveted $1 billion milestone
