Devil Wears Prada 2 Eyes $66 Million-Plus Opening to Kick Off Summer May 1

Robust presales plus a splashy global tour point to broad turnout for the long-awaited sequel.

Overview

  • Trade tracking now pegs the film’s opening weekend near $66 million, with advance ticket sales about double a recent comp, according to Deadline.
  • Tickets have been on sale since March 12, and interest is strongest with women over 25 while men also show solid intent versus titles like Barbie and The Little Mermaid, Deadline reports.
  • The final trailer teases Andy’s return to help Runway with a “current scandal,” offering a clear hook without revealing story details, as noted by ABC News.
  • Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci reunite under director David Frankel from Aline Brosh McKenna’s script for Disney’s 20th Century Studios.
  • The May 1 launch positions the movie as Disney’s summer starter in a slot once led by Marvel, with Deadline also pointing to a likely second-weekend lift from Mother’s Day.
