The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Repeats No. 1 With $43 Million Weekend, Reaches $433 Million Worldwide

The sequel’s strong hold points to a durable theater-first run that could reset early summer box-office expectations.

Overview

  • The film edged out Mortal Kombat II after studio estimates Sunday put its second-weekend North American haul at $43 million versus $40 million for its rival.
  • The global total has climbed to about $433 million in 12 days, surpassing the original 2006 film’s lifetime $327 million without inflation adjustments.
  • In Argentina, Ultracine counted 749,006 admissions through May 8, and Cinemark projects the film could cross 1 million this week and approach 1.5 million by month’s end.
  • With a reported $100 million budget, the movie became profitable quickly, and Disney has not announced a Disney+ date, signaling a longer theatrical window.
  • Comscore analysts said the Mother’s Day frame helped the hold, and turnout spans generations as younger viewers who found the first film on streaming showed up in theaters.
