The Devil Wears Prada 2 has made a strong first impression with moviegoers, earning an A- CinemaScore from opening-night audiences — a notable improvement over the original 2006 film’s reception.
According to trade reports, the sequel’s A- grade places it in the category of films that typically generate positive word-of-mouth and maintain steady audience turnout in the weeks following release.
CinemaScore ratings are widely viewed across the industry as a reliable indicator of early audience satisfaction, with grades in the A range often signaling strong repeat-viewing potential and sustained box office momentum.
The achievement is particularly significant when compared to the original The Devil Wears Prada, which received a B CinemaScore during its theatrical debut in 2006.
While that grade reflected more moderate initial audience reactions, the film ultimately went on to become a major commercial success. Over time, the fashion-industry drama built a lasting fanbase and grossed approximately $326.5 million worldwide, solidifying its place as one of the most recognizable fashion-themed films in modern cinema.
With the sequel now outperforming the original in early audience response, industry observers are watching closely to see whether The Devil Wears Prada 2 can replicate — or potentially exceed — the long-term success of its predecessor.
A strong CinemaScore, combined with nostalgia for the beloved original and renewed interest in its iconic characters, positions the sequel for promising word-of-mouth performance as its theatrical run continues.
