The Devil Wears Prada 2 Crosses $680M - Miranda Is Back and Box Office Is Bowing
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt return. The sequel nobody asked for became the comedy event of the summer.
Miranda Priestly does not need your approval. The box office already gave it.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 has crossed $680 million worldwide - a number that would make even Runway pause mid-monologue.
Why this happened
The 2006 original was a cultural tattoo - Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, blue sweaters, cerulean speeches.
Twenty years later, the sequel brought almost everyone back. David Frankel directing again. Aline Brosh McKenna writing again. New faces: Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet.
Critics were mixed. Audiences did not care.
Fashion nostalgia travels. Andy Sachs returning to Runway travels further. TikTok clips of Miranda one-liners travel fastest of all.
The numbers
- Opened May 1, 2026
- Still playing deep into June
- ~$680M+ global and climbing
- One of the biggest comedy hits of the decade
Hollywood spent years chasing superheroes and IP reboots. The winner this spring wore heels.
Watch the trailer
If you somehow missed the first film: rich people are mean, fashion is religion, and Meryl Streep can win an Oscar nomination by saying “groundbreaking.”
The sequel proves the same rule - with a nine-figure receipt.
Fluorescent belts optional. Ticket sales mandatory.
