The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Struts With Trend-Setting $10M in Previews

The Devil Wears Prada is already making a big splash at the box office, just like it did almost 20 years ago when it became a surprise hit and made over $326.5 million worldwide. It's also become a big part of pop culture.

The new movie, The Devil Wears Prada 2, made $10 million in previews on Thursday, which is one of the best numbers ever for a movie led by women.

 That’s not far behind some of the biggest movies right now, like Michael and Project Hail Mary.

In August 2023, another movie led by women, It Ends With Us, made $7 million in previews and went on to make over $350 million globally.

 Its opening weekend was $50 million.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is the first movie led by women in modern times to start the summer box office season.

 Usually, that honor goes to a Marvel superhero movie or a Fast & Furious film.

The movie is pulling in audiences of all ages who are excited to see the original cast come back.

 Meryl Streep plays a powerful fashion magazine editor, Anne Hathaway is back as the popular character, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt also return. The movie is also directed by David Frankel, who worked with writer Aline Brosh McKenna.

In other countries, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has already made $40.5 million in its first two days from 42 markets, including sneak previews.

 It had the highest opening day of the year in Brazil, Italy, Korea, Australia, as well as Belgium, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Greece, Ukraine, New Zealand, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

If you're expecting a movie with strong fashion, sharp humor, and a big performance from Meryl Streep as the powerful Miranda Priestly character, you’re probably going to be satisfied.
