The Devil Wears Prada 2 Crosses $608 Million — 2026's 4th Hollywood Movie to Hit This Massive Milestone

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Just Crossed $608 Million Worldwide

Almost two decades after the original The Devil Wears Prada became a cultural phenomenon in 2006, the sequel has proven that some comebacks are worth the wait. Released on May 1, 2026, the fashion-obsessed sequel has now raked in a staggering $608 million globally — making it only the fourth Hollywood production this year to cross the $600 million mark.

With $200 million from domestic audiences and a whopping $408 million from international markets, David Frankel's sequel isn't just doing well — it's dominating. And honestly? We're not even surprised.

How It Stacks Up Against 2026's Biggest Blockbusters

To put this into perspective, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has already outgrossed every single Marvel Studios release from 2025. Think about that for a second:

• The Fantastic Four: First Steps — $522 million
• Captain America: Brave New World — $415 million
• Thunderbolts* — $382 million

All three sit below this fashion sequel on the all-time worldwide earnings chart. In a year that's also seen Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu pull in $102 million in just four days, the horror hit Obsession dominate box office conversations, and Michael Jackson's biopic Michael drawing massive crowds, The Devil Wears Prada 2 holding its own is genuinely impressive.

Why It's Working So Well

The secret sauce? The original cast. Meryl Streep returns as the legendary Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway reprises her role as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt is back as the scene-stealing Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci rounds out the quartet as Nigel. Together, they've recreated the exact chemistry that made the 2006 film a defining moment for a generation of moviegoers.

Produced on a reported $100 million budget, the film has already recouped its costs several times over. The $700 million milestone looks well within reach, which would put it in elite company alongside the year's top earners.

Domestically, it currently sits fourth on the daily chart — behind only the massive sci-fi debuts and horror sensations of the moment. But with its legs still running strong in international markets, especially across Europe and Asia, this is far from over.

The Verdict

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is proof that legacy sequels don't have to be cash grabs. When you bring back the right people, tell a story that respects the original, and deliver on the nostalgia without sacrificing quality, audiences will show up — in droves. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
