2026's Most Divisive Blockbuster Officially Crushes a Colossal Box Office Milestone

With The Devil Wears Prada 2 and this week's new release, Mortal Kombat II, having a tense showdown for the number one spot at the domestic box office, third place was comfortably snatched up by a holdover hit. The Devil Wears Prada 2 exceeded expectations in its opening weekend, grossing nearly $80 million. The sequel, which was released two decades after the classic original film, has passed the $450 million mark worldwide in just 10 days of release. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat II is eyeing the sort of bump that fellow Warner Bros. sequels Dune: Part Two and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire witnessed after their predecessors debuted day-and-date on HBO Max. The action sequel has already recouped its reported $80 million budget in three days.
