Mortal Kombat II opened at number one in the US on opening day, beating The Devil Wears Prada 2. The 2025 fantasy sequel to the 2021 film delivers graphic, gnarly kills and relentless fight choreography that reviewers summed up as brutal, dumb fun. Critics praised the film’s confident use of video-game elements and striking set-piece fights while faulting a thin narrative and even the omission of the name Noob Saibot. Directors have already teased a third Mortal Kombat and another Prada entry, so the strong opening could push both franchises forward.
