2. Mortal Kombat II — 26 showtimes at 7 cinemas

Mortal Kombat II settles into its second week with 26 showtimes at 7 cinemas. Down from 91 last weekend, but that drop partly reflects fewer cinemas reporting this week. Cinepax Ocean Mall in Karachi leads with 9 showtimes. Cinepax Packages Mall has 4 in Lahore. Cinegold Karachi has 4.

The 7.2-rated action sequel is available in 2D across all 3 cities. If the fight choreography is what you are after, the evening shows this weekend are the way to go.

3. Michael — 23 showtimes at 6 cinemas

Michael continues to hold screens in its third weekend. 23 showtimes at 6 cinemas. Cinepax Packages Mall and Cinepax Ocean Mall each have 8 showtimes. The music biopic carries a 7.6 rating and runs 128 minutes — bring water.

Still the best music film in cinemas right now. If you are choosing between this and the Billie Eilish concert film, Michael gives you more of a narrative arc.

4. Mera Lyari — 21 showtimes at 7 cinemas

Mera Lyari has the widest cinema distribution this weekend — 7 cinemas across all 3 cities. Cinepax Ocean Mall leads with 7 showtimes. Islamabad has a surprisingly strong presence with 5 showtimes at 3 cinemas. Lahore has 6 showtimes at Cinepax Amanah Mall and Cinepax Packages Mall.

5. Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft — 16 showtimes at 6 cinemas

This is still the kind of film where the cinema experience matters. The sound design and the 3D format are not something you can replicate at home. If you missed it last weekend, the window is getting smaller.
