\tTalk about making a fashionable entrance \u2014 and then some. <\/p>\n

\tThe Devil Wears Prada<\/a><\/em> 2<\/em><\/a>, from 20th Century and Disney, opened to $32.5 million on Friday at the North American \u8208\u884c\u53ce\u5165<\/a>, where it remains on course to debut in the $75 million-$80 million range nearly two decades after the first film turned into a sleeper box office hit on its way to earning $326.5 million globally and becoming a cultural touchstone. <\/p>\n

\tThe sequel is another reminder of the buying power of women and teenage girls. Friday\u2019s haul included $10 million in Thursday previews, one of the best showings ever<\/a> for a female-fueled pic, and not far behind current box office hits\u00a0Michael\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Project Hail Mary<\/em>. \t<\/p>\n

\tThe Devil Wears Prada\u00a02<\/em>\u00a0is the first female-driven movie in modern history to kick off the summer box office, a duty that has almost always gone to a Marvel superhero pic or a\u00a0Fast & Furious<\/em>\u00a0title. It\u2019s feasting on strong reviews<\/a> and audience exit polls, including receiving an A- Cinemascore.<\/p>\n

\tPrada 2<\/em>\u00a0is attracting moviegoers across all age groups who are eager to see original cast members\u00a0Meryl Streep<\/a>, who plays a legendary, searing fashion magazine editor,\u00a0\u30a2\u30f3\u30fb\u30cf\u30b5\u30a6\u30a7\u30a4<\/a>,\u00a0Stanley Tucci<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Emily Blunt<\/a>\u00a0reunite. Another boon for the project:\u00a0David Frankel\u00a0returned to direct, as did writer Aline Brosh McKenna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\tTo put things in perspective, the sequel\u2019s opening day tops the entire opening weekend of the first film ($27.5 million), not adjusted for inflation. <\/p>\n

\tPrada 2<\/em> is even bigger overseas, where its total through Friday was $82.1 million for an early cume north of $114 million after scoring the top opening day of any film this year in several countries, including in Brazil and Italy. \t<\/p>\n

\tMeanwhile, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael<\/em> will cross the $400 million mark this weekend, marking another milestone for producer Graham King and Lionsgate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
