The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to kick off the summer season with approximately $180 million

20th Century Studios/Disney's highly anticipated film The Devil Wears Prada 2 is preparing to play a significant role at the box office at the start of this summer season. Following Lionsgate's successful Michael film, it is expected that this sequel will attract more female viewers. The production is anticipated to open with between $73 million and $80 million domestically, indicating a potential opening of around $180 million worldwide.

In recent years, summer films typically launched with action and science fiction genres aimed at male audiences. However, this year, the season's opening by a sequel in the fashion and drama genre reflects the changing dynamics of the film industry. The success of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in this genre also highlights the strong potential of female-focused films at the box office.

The film's strong opening expectations are based not only on the anticipation of fans of the original film but also on the recent good performance of similar films in the library. Industry observers predict that The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be one of the highest-grossing openings of the summer season. This success will serve as a strong signal for Hollywood to invest in female-focused projects.
