Disney and 20th Century Studios’ sequel “The Devil Wears Prada 2” opens strongly as the summer movie season starts, according to multiple outlets. Reports place the film’s North America opening at about $77 million, while its global weekend total is described as roughly $233 million, with international grosses reported around $156–157 million. Several sources also note that the movie quickly reaches major worldwide revenue milestones, including a worldwide total around $433 million after two weeks, and a trajectory expected to surpass the original 2006 film’s lifetime global gross of about $326.5 million.
The sequel is described as a “legacy-quel” bringing back original leads, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, with David Frankel returning as director. Outlets also report that the film tops box office charts in the U.K. and Ireland, maintaining first place during its second weekend there. Other reporting adds that the film’s opening weekend performance helps it overtake “Michael,” a competing release mentioned in coverage, though later numbers vary by frame. Some articles describe an early dip after the opening weekend, but overall results remain strongly positive across markets.
