PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) \u2014 This weekend\u2019s box office could come down to a three-way battle between fashion, music and fatalities.<\/p>\n
According to Box Office Pro projections,\u00a0\u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2\u201d\u00a0is expected to stay near the top of the box office with another\u00a0$15 million to $23 million\u00a0this weekend.<\/p>\n
After a huge run so far, the hit sequel has clearly connected with audiences, bringing back the nostalgia of the original while also giving fans a reason to return for more. But its path to number one is not exactly a runway walk.<\/p>\n
Right behind it is\u00a0\u201cMichael,\u201d\u00a0the Michael Jackson biopic, which is also projected to land somewhere around\u00a0$18 million to $23 million\u00a0this weekend. That means the top spot could really come down to a coin flip.<\/p>\n
After a massive opening, \u201cMichael\u201d is still showing strong legs at the box office, proving there is still plenty of interest in the King of Pop\u2019s story.<\/p>\n
Coming in at number three is\u00a0\u201cMortal Kombat II.\u201d<\/p>\n
Box Office Pro is projecting the video game sequel to bring in somewhere in the high-teens to low-$20 million range. After opening strongly last weekend, the big question now is how well it can hold up against two massive holdovers.<\/p>\n
So, this weekend is shaping up to be a box office battle between fashion, music and fatalities.<\/p>\n
Speaking of fashion, I went and saw\u00a0\u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2.\u201d<\/p>\n
I only watched the first movie for the very first time last week to get ready for this sequel, and I actually really enjoyed it. So going into this one, I was a little skeptical.<\/p>\n
Overall, I had a fine time with it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2\u201d does not really break any new ground, and it does take a little while to get going. The start is a bit slow and rocky, but once the movie finds its footing, it becomes a pretty enjoyable follow-up.<\/p>\n
The biggest reason this works is the cast.<\/p>\n
Anne Hathaway is great once again. Meryl Streep, of course, is incredible. And Stanley Tucci is just a masterclass every time he is on screen.<\/p>\n
That is where the movie really shines. It is seeing these characters back together and watching these actors bring their A-game again.<\/p>\n
If you are a fan of the first \u201cDevil Wears Prada,\u201d I think you are going to have a good time with this one. If you are not, or if you are just curious, this is probably one you can wait to watch when it hits streaming.<\/p>\n
It is not perfect, but I am glad they made it.<\/p>\n
I am giving\u00a0\u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2\u201d a 6.5 out of 10.<\/p>\n
