The Devil Wears Prada 2 is bringing in the big bucks amid its continued box office run. It’s already grossed over $300 million worldwide, overtaking the earnings of the original movie, and it’s still full steam ahead.


Director David Frankel previously revealed that most of its $100 million budget was spent on getting the main cast back together, and it looks like it was all well worth it. But how much exactly did the OG stars rake in for the sequel?

Meryl Streep, who stands to command the biggest pay out of the cast, reportedly stood in solidarity with Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt instead. Variety reports that the film’s female trio entered into a “favored nations” deal, where all three would be compensated equally for their work.


The result? Each actress made $12.5 million for the cult classic’s sequel. Huge, right? But there’s more to it. Just as any major motion picture does it, Meryl, Anne, and Emily will also be given box office bonuses—additional pay on top of their salaries every time The Devil Wars Prada 2 surpasses a pre-negotiated milestone.

According to Variety, with their movie’s massive success, the three leading ladies have already started receiving the incentives they were promised. Should it continue to draw in audiences at the rate it’s going, the triumvirate could each take home over $20 million in total.

In The Devil Wears Prada 2, Runway Magazine finds itself in a twist as outside forces threaten to dismantle everything Miranda Priestly and her team have built. Scrambling to save the title, Miranda and Nigel (Stanley Tucci) reunite with Andy Sachs and Emily Charlton, both of whom have found success in their respective fields. They gather in Milan Fashion week to smooth things out, but ambition and loyalties might just topple their plans altogether.
