The Devil Wears Prada 2 has emerged as one of the year’s biggest commercial successes after earning $546 million globally just three weeks after release. According to box office tracking reports from Variety, Box Office Mojo, and AzerNEWS, the sequel has grossed $175.9 million domestically in the United States and currently ranks second at the North American box office behind Michael.
Released worldwide on May 1 by 20th Century Studios, the sequel reportedly recouped its production and marketing costs during its second weekend in cinemas and has now entered profitability for its producers. Industry analysts previously projected the film could surpass $750 million globally if momentum continues across international markets, according to Deadline and Variety.
The film revisits the world of fashion publishing nearly two decades after the original 2006 cult classic. The story follows Miranda Priestly as she battles to save Podium magazine from closure and reconnects with her former assistant Emily in a renewed high-stakes professional rivalry. Critics say the sequel has benefited from nostalgia, strong performances, and renewed interest in fashion-driven cinema.
Returning cast members include Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, whose performances have drawn praise from critics and audiences alike. Entertainment analysts note that the film’s strong performance highlights Hollywood’s continued success with legacy sequels built around beloved franchises and returning star power.
