The Devil Wears Prada 2 signals a confident kick to the summer movie slate, delivering opening numbers that show strong broad appeal. Domestic receipts sit around $77 million, while international markets add roughly $156.6 million, pushing the worldwide total near $233.6 million.
The ensemble returns Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt, with David Frankel back at the helm and Aline Brosh McKenna writing the script. The release is framed as a milestone for female‑led titles, underscoring demand across age groups and especially among women and younger moviegoers.
Friday alone brought about $32.5 million, including around $10 million from previews—a standout opening for a female‑driven picture and a sign that the franchise resonates beyond longtime fans.
In related weekend box‑office news, Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson biopic crossed the $400 million global mark, while MGM’s Project Hail Mary kept climbing past $600 million worldwide. The mix points to a lively start to the season for a range of star‑driven and genre titles.
