After 20 years, the long-awaited sequel "The Devil Wears Prada 2" (Director: David Frankel, Distributor: Walt Disney Company Korea) has surged to the top of the reservation sales rankings with overwhelming momentum. On the first day of its release in 2026, it recorded the highest opening score of the year, making a brilliant start. Maintaining this momentum, it has finally reclaimed the top spot in overall reservation rates. Furthermore, for lead actors Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt, it has updated their career's best opening performance, recording a global hit. According to the ticket integration network, as of 3:50 PM on the 5th, this film recorded the highest reservation rate, surpassing "Super Mario Galaxy." After its release, audience interest has further increased, and in its second week of release, it has returned to the top again. There are great expectations for how far the numbers will grow in the future. Its global popularity remains strong. According to Box Office Mojo, the film recorded approximately $236.36 million (about 34.5 billion yen) in box office revenue worldwide during its opening weekend. This surpasses the opening performances of Meryl Streep's "Mamma Mia! 2" (about $90 million / about 13.4 billion yen) and Emily Blunt's "Oppenheimer" (about $180.4 million / about 26.8 billion yen). This marks the highest opening record in both actors' careers, proving to be a global hit. The film is also well-received in Korea across generations. Audiences familiar with the previous film, as well as those who have not seen it, are showing high support due to the modern sensibility reflected in the story. In particular, many viewers resonate with the message questioning "what truly matters" amidst worries about careers and life, the process of growth and change, and the rapidly changing times. Additionally, the film features cameos from popular figures in Korea, Moon Ga-young and NCT's Doyoung, capturing the audience's attention.
