# Devil Wears Prada 2: $233M Opening, Mixed Reviews, and What Miranda Priestly Reveals About Your Boss

> **Quick answer:** The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened to $77M domestic and $233M worldwide on May 1, 2026 — the biggest live-action Hollywood opening of the year. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are back, critics score it 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, but there is a fierce debate about whether softening Miranda Priestly was a brilliant evolution or a betrayal of the most iconic fictional boss ever put on screen.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already one of the defining cultural moments of 2026 — and it arrived with a question baked into every frame: can the most terrifying boss in movie history be made sympathetic without losing everything that made her compelling?

## Devil Wears Prada 2 Box Office: The Numbers Are Absurd

Let's start with the facts that silenced all the skeptics. The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened to $77 million domestically across 4,150 theaters and $156.6 million internationally, for a $233.6 million worldwide opening weekend — the biggest live-action Hollywood debut of 2026 according to Variety.

To put this in context: the original 2006 film launched to just $27.5 million domestically. The sequel more than tripled that in the same window. The film secured the second-biggest worldwide debut of the year overall, trailing only The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($372.5 million), and surpassing even the Michael biopic ($217 million).
