The Devil Wears Prada 2 Opens with $10 Million in Thursday Previews

The Devil Wears Prada 2 earned $10 million in Thursday previews, signaling strong opening weekend momentum for the 20-year-later sequel.

Objective Facts

Disney reported $10 million in Thursday night U.S. previews for the sequel. Global previews have reached over $50 million, with forecasts for a close-to-$180 million worldwide opening. The preview number is comparable to The Little Mermaid's $10.3 million from 2023, and just under Wonder Woman's $11 million from 2017. The film is projected to earn between $75 million and $80 million domestically in its opening weekend, though some estimates reach $90 million to $100 million due to the original's enduring popularity and the recent over-performance of Michael. The $100 million feature production opened in 35 markets yesterday including Germany, Spain, Australia, China, Brazil and Mexico.

Deep Dive

This story is a straightforward box office data report with no substantive ideological disagreement. The Devil Wears Prada 2 made $10 million at the box office in previews—a factual financial figure that all outlets report identically. While the film itself has received mixed critical reviews touching on feminism, media landscape commentary, and representation (with Meryl Streep discussing the film as a feminist narrative about women in the workplace in a Vogue interview with Anna Wintour and Greta Gerwig), these are reviews of the film's content and themes, not disagreements about the box office preview numbers themselves. The box office figure is not a contested claim—it is a data point confirmed by studio reporting across all outlets. This does not constitute a viable OBJ Speaking story, as it lacks the genuine left/right ideological disagreement on the specific angle that defines the platform's analytical framework.
