‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ struts to first place with $77 million debut
The fashion-themed sequel dominated the North American box office in its opening weekend, drawing a largely female audience despite receiving a mixed reception from film critics
The Devil Wears Prada 2 successfully claimed the top spot at the North American box office, earning $77 million during its opening weekend. The film was released in 4,150 locations across the region, marking a significant theatrical debut for the long-awaited sequel. This performance highlights the continued commercial draw of the franchise as it returns to the big screen.[1]
Demographic data from the opening weekend indicates that the film's primary audience was overwhelmingly female. According to PostTrak exit polls, women accounted for approximately 76% of the ticket buyers. This strong showing among female viewers suggests that the sequel has maintained the core audience that made the original film a cultural touchstone.[1]
Despite its financial success, the film has faced a varied response from the critical community. Professional film critics have offered mixed reviews of the sequel, yet early indications suggest that general moviegoers are enjoying the production. The contrast between critical reception and audience enthusiasm has not hindered the film's ability to secure a first-place finish in its debut.[2]
