The Devil Wears Prada 2 Tops $200 Million Domestic and $608 Million Global
Industry observers say the film’s mid‑budget, nostalgia‑driven strategy has turned a roughly $100 million production into a profitable summer event that signals shifting audience tastes.
Overview
- Late May box‑office tallies show the sequel has crossed about $200.02 million in North America and roughly $608 million worldwide after four weekends.
- The film opened May 1 with strong reviews and steady holds that were boosted by holiday weekend play, producing an estimated $16.5 million over the extended Memorial Day frame.
- Disney’s sequel has earned roughly six times its reported $100 million production budget, driven by global strength in markets such as the U.K., Italy and India.
- Trade outlets note the movie has already outperformed recent franchise releases domestically and is closing in on the runs of other high‑profile 2025–26 films, prompting discussion about audience appetite beyond superhero tentpoles.
- Box office trackers project a final global run in the high‑six to low‑seven‑hundred‑million range, and the film’s success could encourage more mid‑budget, adult‑led releases and targeted marketing strategies.
