weekend insights

8-10 May 2026

The same five films took top spots in both the US and UK box office this weekend, but audience preferences shuffled the rankings.

Holding steady across both markets, The Devil Wears Prada 2 secured the #2 spot in each territory, demonstrating strong appeal and impressive staying power week-on-week.

In the US Mortal Kombat II claimed the top position, attracting 29.9% of moviegoers. Its audience skewed heavily male (70%) and concentrated in the 25-44 age group (60%), helping drive an overall shift this weekend toward male audiences in the US.

In the UK Michael (2026) returned to #1 with 30.5% of moviegoers, reclaiming the spot from The Devil Wears Prada 2. In contrast to the top film in the US, this film drew a younger audience (41% aged 12–24) and skewed more toward female-identifying moviegoers (58%), contributing to a shift toward female audiences in UK attendance this weekend.
