The Devil Wears Prada 2 has strut to the top of the box office.
Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt's reunion for the sequel — which features a number of celebrity cameos — paid off in a big way, as the anticipated comedy made $77 million at the domestic box office and $156.6 million internationally during its first weekend in theaters, per Variety. (The movie opened on Friday, May 1.)
The Devil Wears Prada earned $27.5 million domestically during its opening weekend in 2006.
This weekend's feat was enough to unseat the Michael Jackson biopic Michael as the top movie at the box office over the weekend. Michael earned $54 million in its second weekend, Variety reported.
The film previously broke box office records in North America for the best opening weekend for a biopic ever when it hit theaters on April 24.

Together, the pair must work to woo Priestly's former assistant Emily Charlton (Blunt) — now running Dior's U.S. operations — for ad dollars.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie remains the top-grossing film of 2026 so far in North America, followed by Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary and Pixar's animated movie Hoppers.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 also features Simone Ashley, Caleb Hearon and Helen J. Shen as Runway employees.
Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux star as celeb divorcees, B.J. Novak is a businessman, Patrick Brammall portrays Andy's love interest and Kenneth Branagh stars as Miranda's husband.
