Devil Wears Prada 2 Opens Huge, Igniting Summer Box Office
The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened to a $77 million 3-day weekend from 4,150 theaters (about $18,554 per location), the biggest opening for a non-genre female-led title, lifting the weekend domestic total to $172.2 million and worldwide to $233.6 million. The audience skew was heavily female (76%), with solid critical and audience scores, signaling a strong start to the summer; Lionsgate’s Michael followed with $54 million in second, Hokum entered the Top 5, and next weekend brings Mortal Kombat II and The Sheep Detectives as potential sleepers.
