The Devil Wears Prada 2 continued its impressive run with $16.3M on Day 9, taking its domestic total to $143.4M.
One of the strongest second weekend holds of 2026 so far.
Weekend Overview
The second weekend of The Devil Wears Prada 2 stood out with an excellent hold, adding $16.3M and showing only a minor drop. This kind of retention is rare for comedies and signals strong audience word-of-mouth.
Michael also delivered a healthy $14.7M on Day 16, crossing $241.9M domestically. The biopic is showing better-than-expected legs for its genre.
New releases had mixed results:
- Mortal Kombat II opened with $9.5M on Friday and added $8.4M on Saturday โ a respectable but not explosive debut for a video game sequel.
- The Sheep Detectives started modestly with $5.9M on its second day.
Long runners like Project Hail Mary ($2.4M on Day 51) and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($2.0M on Day 39) continued adding decent numbers even in their extended runs.
