TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - It’s not every day that a movie gets the same intense reaction for its sequel, and yet The Devil Wears Prada 2 is racking up dominance at the box office this year. Just days after its official release on May 1, the glamorous chaos of Runway magazine has earned more than US$300 million, and is still counting.

After 20 years, the salaries of the women starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2 have become one of the first major talking points, with the returning stars reportedly receiving substantial pay raises compared to what they earned in the 2006 original.

How Much Are The Devil Wears Prada 2 Salaries?

Salary details for The Devil Wears Prada 2 reportedly reveal an unusual pay arrangement among its leading stars, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. According to reports from Variety, the three actresses were each paid US$12.5 million to reprise their iconic roles in the long-awaited sequel.

The equal-pay arrangement stands out because Streep, who returns as formidable fashion editor Miranda Priestly, could reportedly have negotiated a significantly higher salary given her legendary status and box-office appeal. Industry insiders suggested the 21-time Oscar nominee may have been able to command closer to US$15 million, but the cast ultimately opted for salary parity instead.

More Bonuses Could Boost The Devil Wears Prada 2 Salaries

The reported salaries for The Devil Wears Prada 2 may only be the beginning for its leading stars. While Streep, Hathaway, and Blunt are each said to have earned US$12.5 million upfront for returning to the franchise, their contracts reportedly also include lucrative box-office bonuses tied to the film’s theatrical performance.

With the sequel already generating strong momentum and audience interest, industry insiders believe those backend incentives could significantly increase their final earnings.

If the film continues reaching major box-office milestones, each actor could reportedly earn more than US$20 million by the end of its theatrical run, making the stylish sequel one of Hollywood’s most profitable comeback projects for its cast.
