Mortal Kombat II fails to displace The Devil Wears Prada 2 at the box office, barely beats Michael in subpar start

Mortal Kombat II fails to displace The Devil Wears Prada 2 at the box office, barely beats Michael in subpar start

It was a box-office battle of the sequels as Mortal Kombat II released worldwide this weekend, hoping to wrest the crown from The Devil Wears Prada 2. But the Meryl Streep-starrer continued to rule the roost as Mortal Kombat II fell below expectations in a subpar start. Mortal Kombat II box office: Karl Urban stars in this video game adaptation. Mortal Kombat II’s subpar start According to studio estimates, Mortal Kombat II opened its account at the North American box office with $40 million in its first weekend. It was in the second spot, failing to displace The Devil Wears Prada 2, which earned $43 million in its second weekend. The Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, ranked third, bringing in $36 million in its third weekend. On Sunday, Michael surpassed Mortal Kombat II, earning $13.2 million to the video game adaptation’s $9.5 million. Paul Dergarabedian, the head of marketplace trends for Comscore, said Mother’s Day might have helped The Devil Wears Prada 2 gain an edge over the newcomer, yet it still had a modest 44% …

‘TMC’s appeasement policy will displace Hindu Bengalis again’, says Suvendu Adhikari amid Murshidabad violence

Suvendu Adhikari accuses TMC of turning relief camps into “detention centers” and criticises the government’s appeasement policy amid rising violence and displacement in Murshidabad. Kolkata: On Saturday, Suvendu Adhikari, the Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, levelled serious allegations against the state government, accusing it of turning relief camps for violence-affected individuals into “detention centres.” He claimed that the administration was not allowing anyone, including external persons, to meet or assess the condition of the victims. In his statement, Adhikari, a key leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s government of treating the victims of violence in an “inhuman” manner. “The government has made it impossible for anyone to visit the relief camps. They are being treated as detention centres where the administration is restricting access and not allowing any aid or support,” he alleged. BJP criticises TMC’s ‘appeasement policy’ Later, Adhikari led a rally in Kolkata from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s residence to the ancestral home of Syama Prasad Mukherjee, sharply criticizing the Trinamool Congress …

The $3,000 totally wireless Displace TV is the definition of CES absurdity

Our time at CES 2023 might be over, but it’s still worth highlighting some standouts at the show. One of those that’s gotten quite a bit of attention is from an upstart company called Displace. LG’s brand-new Signature OLED M eliminates every wire except for the power cord, but Displace is trying to nix that one, too. In Las Vegas, the company demonstrated a completely wireless 55-inch 4K OLED TV that runs off four hot-swappable batteries. This is a dream that has existed since the earliest days of The Verge. Are we seeing an imperfect sneak peek of the future, or is this a solution in search of a problem? Is the Displace another classic example of CES vaporware? Will it actually ever ship? All I know for now is that it seems to make good on the everything-wireless concept — with one potentially pricey gamble. A single Displace TV costs $3,000. For that money, you get the display — from what I could tell, it’s a typical LG Display 4K OLED panel — four …
