00:00A number one opening for spring? Groundbreaking. The Devil Wears Prada had a very fashionable start
00:05at the box office this weekend, landing the number one slot with $77 million domestically
00:11and a global total of over $233 million. Opening in the first weekend of May is a slot that Disney
00:18has typically reserved for Marvel tentpole films like Captain America Civil War and Doctor Strange
00:23in the Multiverse of Madness. So putting Devil Wears Prada here is a major bet on both female
00:28centered films and nostalgia. We have seen some other big female tentpole films in recent months
00:34do really well at the box office including The Housemaid, Reminders of Him, and Wuthering Heights.
00:40Warner Brothers is definitely hoping to cast a similar spell with female audiences and a little
00:45bit of nostalgia when it releases Practical Magic 2 in theaters this September with original stars
00:51Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Go to page6hollywood.com to sign up for our free newsletter.
