- The Devil Wears Prada 2 opens in 4,100 North American theaters with a $75‑$80M debut, possibly reaching $90‑$100M.
- Disney spent roughly $100M on production (excluding marketing) and expects $100M international earnings to push global total to $175‑$190M.
- Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly, reuniting with original cast including Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
- Michael earned $97.2M in its opening weekend, outpacing its $70M projection and setting a high bar for the sequel.
- Lionsgate sees its second‑weekend drop to $45‑$50M for Michael, while Universal’s “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” and Project Hail Mary remain holdovers.
Why it matters: Disney stands to earn $75‑$80M opening, recouping its $100M production spend and strengthening its Q2 earnings, while rivals such as Lionsgate face tighter box‑office competition.
