m. on Thursday, according to Disney reports. The film has already generated $40.5 million from its first two days in overseas markets, bringing the global total to $50.5 million so far. It opened in 45 markets, including Germany, Spain, Australia, China, Brazil, and Mexico.
The sequel reunites key cast members from the 2006 original, with Meryl Streep reprising her role as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway returning as well. Filming scenes were spotted last year in New York involving Streep and Stanley Tucci.
Disney forecasts a global opening weekend close to $180 million for the $100 million production. The U.S. preview figure is below last summer's comparable releases but marks a strong start for the comedy sequel. The film bowed in 35 international markets on Thursday, expanding to 45 by Friday.
The movie's soundtrack features a lineup of female artists, including Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, and Olivia Dean. American singer Izzy Escobar contributes the song Evergreen Avenue, which plays during an emotional scene toward the end of the film. Escobar, known for her emotive songwriting influenced by her Cuban and Italian heritage, wrote the track after being approached by director David Frankel.
She described the opportunity as a dream come true and noted that Frankel was inspired by her 2025 song Sunny in London.
“This is my first time ever having a song in a major film. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.”
