\n\tToday, Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a> will outstrip the original 2006\u2019s global lifetime of $326.5M at the worldwide box office. <\/p>\n

\n\tThrough yesterday, the reteam of director David Frankel, and stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, has grossed $324M worldwide with $101.8M in its first week stateside and $222.2M abroad in a 100% offshore footprint. <\/p>\n

\n\tCurrently, the sequel\u2019s second weekend is running neck-in-neck with New Line\u2019s Mortal Kombat II for No. 1 in North America, each with around $42M apiece, a duel that will go down to Mothers Day. That will bring Devil Wears Prada 2\u2018s domestic cume through ten days to $143.8M and will put the entire franchise for both pics well past $700M by Sunday AM. <\/p>\n

\n\tItaly remains stunning for Devil Wears Prada 2 as the leading offshore territory with $22.2M. That\u2019s a big deal because Italy is rarely No. 1 for a Hollywood movie. It also speaks to the rebound in the box office in Italy post Covid; the country firing up 2026 with the local comedy, Buen Camino, which grossed $90.4M, the biggest ever for a local Italian movie. That\u2019s because Milan makes a big cameo in the movie. UK is now up to $21.6M, Brazil is $16.6M, Mexico is $15.9M, Japan $13.1M, Australia $12.9M, Germany $11.7M, China is $11.6M, France near $11M, Korea near $7M, Spain $6.4M, and Argentina $4.3M. <\/p>\n
