Another sequel joins the Super Mario Galaxy Movie in achieving box office success this weekend.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 had an impressive debut at the box office, both in the U.S. and globally. Following in the footsteps of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, this sequel has proven to be a hit, contributing to a trend of theatrical releases that have exceeded expectations, like Project Hail Mary and Michael.

Reports indicate that The Devil Wears Prada 2 raked in $77 million in the U.S. during its opening weekend. Internationally, it performed even better, with a total worldwide gross of $233.6 million, marking it as the second-largest global opening of 2026, just behind The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

The Illumination film continues to thrive, earning $12 million and surpassing Andy Serkis’ animated adaptation of Animal Farm. The ongoing success of this family-friendly film, alongside the strong start of the more adult-oriented The Devil Wears Prada 2, highlights the significant draw that sequels can have in bringing audiences back to theaters.

In the current domestic box office rankings, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is making its mark. As seen with the successes of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael, box office performance doesn’t always align with critical acclaim. However, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is benefiting from positive reviews from both critics and audiences on platforms like Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.

While there hasn’t been a review from one outlet, another has noted that the film showcases a remarkable level of talent and craftsmanship, with moments of genuine enjoyment evident in the performances, writing, and visuals. Expect The Devil Wears Prada 2 to have a solid run in theaters before it eventually makes its way to streaming platforms.
