The Devil Wears Prada 2 Kicks Off Summer Box Office with Strong Debut Disney and 20th Century Studios’ sequel to The Devil Wears Prada opened the 2026 summer movie season with impressive box office results, generating $77 million in domestic ticket sales during its opening weekend. Globally, the film earned over $233 million in its first three days, surpassing the total earnings of the original film from 2006 by 72%. This performance highlights the enduring appeal of the franchise, even as Hollywood increasingly relies on established intellectual property for major releases. The film, starring Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, marked a return to the iconic roles that defined the original. Its success underscores the power of nostalgia and well-crafted storytelling, as the sequel avoided the typical blockbuster formula of superheroes or action sequences. Instead, it focused on the sharp wit and fashion-centric drama that made the original a cultural phenomenon. Domestically, the sequel’s opening weekend gross of $77 million ranked as the third-highest debut of the year, nearly triple the $27.5 million that the original earned during its 2006 premiere. Internationally, the film’s performance was even more striking, with over $150 million in overseas sales, bringing its global total to $233 million in its first three days. This figure represents 72% of the original film’s total theatrical earnings, a testament to its continued relevance. Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at Comscore, praised the film’s ability to resonate with audiences worldwide. “Some things never go out of fashion,” he told CNBC.#anne_hathaway #devil_wears_prada_2 #20th_century_studios #meryl_streep #paul_dergarabedian
