The Kernel take

A 63 Metascore ("Generally Favorable," 54% positive across 57 reviews) is a solid reception for a two-decades-later legacy sequel. On a reported $100M budget, its $690.3M worldwide gross returns roughly 6.9× that spend (marketing cost undisclosed) — one of the biggest commercial successes in this batch.

Director track record: David Frankel

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (63) comes in above David Frankel's 53-point career average, though it doesn't quite match his best-reviewed film, Hope Springs (65).

Lead track record: Anne Hathaway

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (63) lands above Anne Hathaway's 53.6-point average across these 27 scored credits, though still shy of her career-best, Brokeback Mountain (87).

Box office

Budget $100M · Box office $690.3M

A -45.8% second-weekend drop and a 2.9× domestic multiplier show a solid, if front-loaded, hold for a legacy sequel riding heavily on opening-weekend nostalgia before settling into a more typical decline.
