The direct sequel to the 2006 hit The Devil Wears Prada, directed by David Frankel and starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, has been a success both domestically and internationally. It has sparked enough diminishing returns that it has slipped beneath the musical biopic Michael on the domestic chart, but still maintains a high position.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is still in fashion after three weekends at the box office . 2026's The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a direct sequel to the Oscar-nominated 2006 hit The Devil Wears Prada, reuniting director David Frankel with screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna and stars Meryl Streep , Anne Hathaway , Emily Blunt , and Stanley Tucci .
The movie debuted at No. 1 and held that position at the top of the chart in its sophomore weekend despite a strong showing from the new release Mortal Kombat II. Per Variety, The Devil Wears Prada 2 pushed past the $500 million milestone worldwide on Friday, early on during a third weekend that sees the sequel projected to take in an additional $20 million at the domestic box office alone.
It is only the fourth Anne Hathaway movie in history to hit the half-billion milestone , behind Interstellar, 2010's Alice in Wonderland, and The Dark Knight Rises. The next highest-grossing movie featuring the star is the 2012 musical smash Les Misérables, which couldn't crack $450 million in theaters.
While the Devil Wears Prada 2 release has seen enough diminishing returns that it has slipped beneath the musical biopic Michael on the domestic chart for the weekend, hitting No. 2 for the first time, it is still performing at a nearly unprecedented level. Below, see a breakdown of the domestic and global performance of Anne Hathaway's five highest-grossing movies, as well as how they performed on Rotten Tomatoes with critics and audiences : It ultimately remains to be seen if The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be able to climb any higher up the all-time chart for Anne Hathaway.
While it's slowing down enough that it probably won't be a billion-dollar hit, it is entirely possible that it could eventually earn the roughly $300 million more that is required to pass the Christopher Nolan sci-fi hit Interstellar and become the star's third highest-grossing movie in history. While those strong The Devil Wears Prada 2 reviews prove that it could continue to build word of mouth as its run continues over the next few weeks, the success of Alice in Wonderland, which has two Rotten scores, proves that reviews aren't everything when it comes to the box office.
However, it is about level with Interstellar and slightly superior to the original Devil Wears Prada , which could give it a boost that neither previous movie got during the same period in their own runs. Regardless of its position on the Anne Hathaway chart by the end of its run, by hitting this milestone, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has cemented its status as a theatrical hit to be reckoned with.
In addition to more than justifying its sizable reported budget of $100 million , this milestone sees the movie solidifying its lead over Pixar's Hoppers as the fifth highest-grossing movie of the year so far.
