Can Prada Sequel Beat May's Blockbusters?
16 Apr
Summary
- The Devil Wears Prada 2 is projected for a $66 million domestic opening weekend.
- This figure falls short of the $127 million needed to enter May's top 10 opening weekends.
- The sequel releases on May 1, facing competition from other major films.
The upcoming release of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" on May 1st is generating considerable excitement, but its box office potential is being closely scrutinized. Projections suggest a domestic opening weekend gross of more than $66 million.
This figure, while strong, is not expected to secure a spot among May's top 10 highest opening weekends. To achieve this, the film would need to gross approximately $127 million, a benchmark currently held by films like "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Deadpool & Wolverine."
While the sequel benefits from brand recognition and nostalgia, its success will depend on its ability to attract audiences beyond devoted fans. It is scheduled to release alongside other anticipated films, including "Mortal Kombat II" and "Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu."
