has proven that you don’t need superheroes, explosive action-packed sequences or blue-skinned aliens for a sequel to perform well at the box office.
Over the weekend, the studio released “The Devil Wears Prada 2” under its 20th Century Fox banner to raucous results. The sequel film to 2006′s “The Devil Wears Prada” tallied around $77 million domestically during its opening weekend, the third-highest debut of the year. That’s nearly triple the $27.5 million that the first film generated during its opening weekend two decades ago, according to data from Comscore.
Internationally, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” secured more than $150 million, bringing its total haul to around $233 million globally for its first three days in theaters. That total is 72% of what the original “The Devil Wears Prada” generated during its entire theatrical run.
