The fashion world's most anticipated film of the season is making serious waves at the box office. The Devil Wears Prada 2 kicked off its theatrical run with commanding numbers, pulling in over $77 million across domestic theaters during its opening frame.

The sequel's global debut proved even more impressive, with the film raking in $233 million worldwide in its first weekend.
