The Devil Wears Prada 2 Hits $608M — Outgrossing Every 2025 Marvel Movie in Just 25 Days

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Is a $608 Million Powerhouse

Remember when sequels were considered box office poison? The Devil Wears Prada 2 just laughed that idea out of Runway Magazine. David Frankel's fashion sequel has officially crossed the $608 million mark globally, cementing itself as the fourth Hollywood production to break $600 million in 2026. And it did it in just 25 days.

With $200 million from domestic audiences and a staggering $408 million from international markets, the film has already earned back its $100 million budget roughly six times over. If current momentum holds, the $700 million milestone is well within reach.

How It Beats Marvel at Their Own Game

Here's the part that really stings for Marvel Studios: The Devil Wears Prada 2 has now outgrossed every single Marvel release from 2025. Let that sink in.

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

That's right. A fashion drama sequel about magazine editors trounced three superhero tentpoles combined. The original 2006 film starring Meryl Streep as the iconic Miranda Priestly was a hit — but nobody predicted a 20-year-later sequel would become a cultural and financial juggernaut.

Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci all returned alongside Streep, reuniting as Andy, Emily, and Nigel on the fashionable streets of New York City. The chemistry is clearly still there — audiences showed up in droves.

Where It Stands Among 2026's Biggest Hits

The Devil Wears Prada 2 sits at number five on the overall 2026 worldwide box office leaderboard:

• Super Mario Galaxy (Illumination/Nintendo) — $980 million
• Michael — $788 million
• Project Hail Mary (MGM/Ryan Gosling) — $675 million
• Pegasus 3 (non-Hollywood) — $653 million
• The Devil Wears Prada 2 — $608 million

Meanwhile, domestically, it's currently sitting fourth on the daily chart behind Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (which pulled in $102 million in just four days), Obsession, and Michael.

The Bottom Line

The Devil Wears Prada 2 proves that original IP with genuinely beloved characters still has massive theatrical power. While studios chase franchises and cinematic universes, sometimes all you need is Meryl Streep giving one of the most iconic performances of her career — and a script smart enough to bring her back 20 years later.

David Frankel has delivered something rare: a sequel that doesn't just cash in on nostalgia, but builds on it. And with $700 million on the horizon, the box office is still saying "That's all" — but this time, it means they're not done spending yet.
