Round 1, fight! Mortal Kombat II<\/a> and The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a> are duking it out to be the number one sequel at the box office this weekend. Mortal Kombat II\u2019s advantage is that it\u2019s a new movie, so plenty of people would want to watch it, especially if they\u2019re fans of the game. However, this is Mother\u2019s Day weekend, so a golden opportunity to either rewatch<\/a> Miranda Presley slay another day or finally get a chance to see it for the first time as a holiday outing. Both movies are projected to earn $42 million domestically this weekend, with\u00a0Prada\u2019s two-week box office approaching $141 million overall. It\u2019s basically going to be down to the wire to find out who gets served a fatality, or if we have to find out who wins in round two. Either way, fight, fight, fight!<\/p>\n
