‘The Devil Wears Prada’ Is Officially a Billion-Dollar Franchise!!

Last week, 2026 got its first billion-dollar movie, as the video game adaptation sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the box office. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the animated sequel is the first film of the year to achieve this box office milestone, although the upcoming fifth installment in the beloved Toy Story franchise is sure to follow suit.

But The Super Mario Galaxy Movie isn’t the only film to achieve billion-dollar status this month. Having now passed the $676 million mark globally, split between a domestic haul of $218 million and a further $458 million from overseas markets, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has now helped the franchise pass the billion-dollar line at the box office, with the 2006 original turning in $326 million in worldwide revenue. Last weekend, the sequel helped itself to another $1.3 million domestically in its lowest week-to-week drop since last month.

Although the return of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt to their now iconic roles proved too enticing to miss for global audiences, the film faced a mixed critical reception upon arrival. “This sequel doesn’t stand on its own, it’s merely an addendum,” one critic wrote, which was a complaint many had about the film. However, this was all some others needed, with Collider‘s own Taylor Gates calling the film “a near-perfect blend of nostalgia and newness.” “I don’t think I’ll be quoting this one as frequently as the first,” she added, “but I certainly see myself grabbing some popcorn and peanut M&M’s for a pretty epic double-feature in the future.“

Anne Hathaway Returns This Summer in One of the Year’s Biggest Movies

After finally delivering the fashionably late Devil Wears Prada 2, Hathaway is ready to bring audiences one of the cinematic events of the year as part of a stacked ensemble in Christopher Nolan‘s most ambitious film yet, The Odyssey. Set for theatrical release on July 17 and based on Homer’s ancient Greek epic, the film will feature Hathaway in a supporting ensemble alongside the likes of Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth, Elliot Page, Benny Safdie, and more, with Matt Damon taking the lead role of Odysseus, the King of Ithaca.
