The Devil Wears Prada 2, the sequel to the hit 2006 comedy-drama, is slated for a U.S. theatrical release on May 1, 2026. The original cast members, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, are reprising their roles from the first film, while Justin Theroux and Kenneth Branagh are the new additions. The first film not only received positive feedback from both critics and moviegoers but also performed strongly at the box office. It earned $124.7 million in North America and $326.6 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
Now, it will be interesting to see whether the sequel can outgross these domestic and global benchmarks. There is a good chance that The Devil Wears Prada 2 will surpass these targets because it is tracking for a significantly higher domestic opening weekend between $80 million and $95 million, according to recent industry estimates, according to Box Office Pro, compared to the original’s relatively modest $27.5 million opening.
