Apparently the gruff fighter Johnny Cage wasn’t much of a match for the all-powerful Miranda Priestly.

Disney’s “The Devil Wears Prada 2” retained the No. 1 spot on domestic box office charts despite three major new releases, including the video game adaptation “Mortal Kombat II.” The “Devil Wears Prada” sequel added $43 million from 4,200 North American theaters, declining just 44% from its debut while boosting its North American tally to $144.8 million. Meanwhile, the star-studded comedy has collected $288.4 million internationally for a strong global total of $433 million after just two weekends of release. Those ticket sales are above the entire lifetime haul of 2006’s “The Devil Wears Prada,” which generated $326 million, not adjusted for inflation.
