Devil Wears Prada 2" Dominates Global Box Office

The film "The Devil Wears Prada 2" premiered globally on May 1, 2026, earning $233.6 million in its opening weekend. This performance marks one of the largest film launches of 2026 and represents the highest domestic debut of actress Meryl Streep's career.

The sequel generated $77 million from domestic markets (United States and Canada) and an additional $156.6 million internationally. This global total significantly surpasses the original 2006 film, which opened with $27.5 million domestically and concluded its theatrical run with $326.5 million worldwide. The current figures indicate a strong worldwide interest in the franchise.

The film's success positions it among the top-grossing titles of the year within three days of release. While trailing major releases like the musical biopic "Michael," which neared $423.9 million globally, and "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie," "The Devil Wears Prada 2" has outpaced several other 2026 releases. The production, confirmed in July 2024, featured the return of original cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, with filming commencing in June 2025.
