‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Expected to Earn More Than 3 Times the North American Opening Weekend of Part 1, Sparking Major Buzz!

Rising to No. 1 overall in advance ticket sales and proving its explosive demand, the film 〈The Devil Wears Prada 2〉 is set to kick off a global box-office frenzy. U.S. box-office analysis outlet “Boxofficepro.com” predicted that 〈The Devil Wears Prada 2〉 could bring in as much as $95 million in North America during its opening weekend in its first week. That figure is more than triple the opening-weekend total of $27.5 million for 2006’s 〈The Devil Wears Prada〉, making it especially meaningful evidence of intense interest from moviegoers around the world. With this kind of strong box-office signal, attention now turns to whether 〈The Devil Wears Prada 2〉 can top Part 1’s box-office performance ($106.3 million).

〈The Devil Wears Prada 2〉 sees “Miranda,” editor-in-chief of the legendary fashion magazine “Runway,” reunite with “Andy,” who returns as a staff editor after 20 years—this time, meeting “Emily,” who has become an executive at a luxury brand. Set in a dramatically changed media landscape, the story revolves around trying every career move once again in pursuit of leadership in the fashion world. While portraying the intense, high-stakes underbelly of the glamorous fashion industry, it also hooks readers with compelling fashion pieces and stylish, sensory styling—along with a solid coming-of-age narrative for a young newcomer, something many people have likely experienced at least once. It is the sequel to 〈The Devil Wears Prada〉, a title that audiences continue to talk about as a life-defining work to this day. The leading stars who drove the success of the original—including Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway—are reuniting with Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci after 20 years, drawing even sharper attention. In addition, director David Frankel is back in the chair, Elin Brosh McKenna is handling the screenplay, and Karen Rosenfelt is producing—bringing together the core creative team behind the original and raising expectations even further. 〈The Devil Wears Prada 2〉 will open worldwide for the first time on Wednesday, the 29th.
