The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a> struggles at the box office but brings some good news. The highly anticipated sequel passed a big milestone<\/a> in its opening week. However, the film is starting to lose steam with audiences.<\/p>\n

The Devil Wears Prada 2 drops by almost 57% in the third weekend<\/p>\n

A box office analysis from Deadline<\/a> reveals the film\u2019s collections dropped by nearly 57% in its third weekend.

Even so, the film has grossed over $546 million worldwide, surpassing the first film\u2019s $326 million total.<\/p>\n

According to Box Office Mojo<\/a>, The Devil Wears Prada 2 earned $18 million in its third weekend in the U.S., down from $41 million the week prior. It is currently playing on over 3,800 screens, down from 4,200 screens the week before.<\/p>\n

The Devil Wears Prada 2\u2019s impressive financial success may lead to a third film, as teased by director David Frankel<\/a>. This is after the reveal of star Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway\u2019s salaries<\/a>, which saw significant bumps for the sequel.

The film faced tough competition at the box office, going up against the Michael biopic<\/a>, Mortal Kombat 2<\/a>, and the critically acclaimed The Sheep Detectives<\/a>. Despite that, it finished second at the box office this weekend. Following the sequel\u2019s success, fans are now wondering if Disney will greenlight\u00a0sequels to other classics in its catalog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
