Summary
- The Devil Wears Prada 2 sequel earned $77 million opening weekend.
- Sequel's production budget was $100 million, significantly higher than the original.
- Nostalgia and the original cast's return drove massive audience turnout.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 has achieved a triumphant return to the big screen, capturing an impressive $77 million during its opening weekend. This figure significantly outpaces the original film's debut and marks it as the fourth-highest opening of the year. The sequel also garnered an additional $156.6 million internationally, bringing its global total to a staggering $233.6 million.
This overwhelming success is largely credited to the potent combination of nostalgia and the return of its original cast, including Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The film's hefty $100 million production budget, substantially larger than the first movie's $40 million, was primarily allocated to its star-studded cast. This investment appears to be paying off handsomely, with the sequel poised to exceed the original's lifetime gross in mere weeks.
Audiences have responded enthusiastically, awarding the film an "A-" grade on CinemaScore exit polls, indicating strong viewer reception. The enduring cultural impact of the first film, released in 2006, has clearly resonated, with iconic lines and characters continuing to captivate new and returning viewers alike.
