The Devil Wears Prada 2 grosses $233M+ worldwide
The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened with a $77 million domestic debut and about $233.6 million worldwide in its opening weekend. That $77 million start was nearly $50 million higher than the original film's opening weekend. The sequel relocates the story into a glossy science fiction, inflected world, and reviewers praised the cast and breathtaking locations while noting it is less overtly funny than the first. The strong launch makes this the franchise's biggest start and positions the film as a major summer box-office contender.
