The Devil Wears Prada 2 has taken the global box office by storm, crossing the $200-million mark in its opening weekend and becoming profitable in just 24 hours.
The Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway-starrer has also dethroned Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic, at the North American box office.
According to Comscore, the film earned $77 million at the North American box office in its first three days, while raking in an impressive $156 million overseas in its first weekend, taking its worldwide opening haul to $233 million.
This is the second-biggest opening for a Hollywood film this year, behind only The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and ahead of Michael and Project Hail Mary.
The film's release and success has also caused a resurgence in the streaming numbers of the 2006 original, with streaming viewership for The Devil Wears Prada up more than 428% from March to April, according to Nielsen.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is now profitable, having crossed its $100 million budget in just 24 hours, and is expected to cross the lifetime run of part 1, which finished with $327 million worldwide.
