The New York Times • • entertainment
Key Points:
- "The Devil Wears Prada 2," starring 76-year-old Meryl Streep, achieved a major box office success with a $77 million domestic opening weekend, marking the biggest for a traditional comedy since 2015.
- The film earned an additional $157 million internationally, bringing its global total to approximately $234 million.
- The audience was predominantly female (76%) and older, with about 60% aged 35 and above, challenging Hollywood's notion that older viewers are less valuable.
- The movie topped the North American box office, followed by "Michael," the Michael Jackson biopic, which earned $54 million in its second weekend and has grossed $424 million worldwide.
- This success suggests that older actresses remain bankable and that traditional workplace comedies can still draw significant audiences despite the rise of streaming platforms.
