The Devil Wears Prada 2 has officially pushed the franchise past the $1 billion mark globally, a feat that feels almost as dramatic as Miranda Priestly herself. The sequel arrives nearly two decades after the beloved 2006 original, reuniting its iconic cast for a story set against the collapsing world of print media. Whether audiences were ready for a second helping of Runway magazine madness is no longer a question worth asking.

While most sequels limp across the finish line, The Devil Wears Prada 2 sprinted past a billion in stilettos.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 has earned $676 million globally so far, combining $217.9 million domestically with a commanding $458.1 million offshore gross, all on a $100 million production budget. When added to the original 2006 film's $326.5 million lifetime earnings, the franchise has collectively crossed the $1 billion mark. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci returned under director David Frankel, giving the film the rare credibility that most legacy sequels desperately lack. Disney opened the summer not with a Marvel tentpole but with Runway magazine, and the gamble paid off spectacularly.

The film opened to $233 million worldwide and $76.7 million domestically, both franchise records, signaling that audience hunger for this story was far from satisfied. Within its first nine days stateside, it had already surpassed the entire domestic lifetime of the first film. Globally, it ranks as the fourth-highest MPA release of 2026 year-to-date, with Disney holding three of the top six spots. The UK leads offshore at $45.8 million, followed by Germany and Brazil at $33.2 million each, and Japan at $31.9 million.

While the film dominates theatres globally, the next big question is when streaming audiences finally get their turn.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 remains in theatres exclusively, having debuted in early May, and streaming options are still weeks away. Premium video-on-demand availability is estimated for late June or July, while Disney+ and Hulu subscribers can expect the film to arrive by late August or early September. Netflix is entirely out of the picture, as Disney's distribution deal routes all home video to its own platforms exclusively.

Once The Devil Wears Prada 2 lands on Disney+ and Hulu, its second life begins in earnest. The original spent two decades as the definitive comfort rewatch, and the sequel inherits that same high-replay energy, while Gen Z discovering the franchise through social media clips will naturally double-feature both films back to back. Still, the film delivered exactly what nostalgic audiences craved, and the $1 billion milestone confirms that a well-assembled legacy sequel, given the right creative team, can absolutely defy the odds.
