Gird your loins: 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' sashays to #1 at the box office

After 20 years, Andy Sachs, Miranda Priestly and the gang at Runway magazine are still in fashion.

According to Box Office Mojo, The Devil Wears Prada 2 -- featuring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Street, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt -- launches at #1 at the box office with $77 million in its opening weekend. As Variety notes, the original only took in $27.5 million in its first weekend back in 2006.

The sequel's debut is the fourth-biggest one of the year, as per Variety, behind only The Super Mario Galaxy Movie with $131 million; Michael, with $97.5 million; and Project Hail Mary, with $80 million.

Last week's number one, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, dropped to #2 but still took in $54 million. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie slid from #2 to #3 with $12 million, while Project Hail Mary dropped one spot to #4 with $8.5 million.

There were four new entries in the top 10: the horror film Hokum, starring Adam Scott, in at #5; a new take on George Orwell's Animal Farm at #6; the survival thriller Deep Water at #8; and in at #9 is what must surely take the prize for the longest film title of the year, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea. That last one is the second installment of an anime franchise based on a series of Japanese young adult novels.

Here are the top 10 films at the box office:

1. The Devil Wears Prada 2 -- $77 million
2. Michael -- $54 million
3. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie -- $12.1 million
4. Project Hail Mary -- $8.5 million
5. Hokum -- $6.4 million
6. Animal Farm -- $3.4 million
7. Lee Cronin's The Mummy -- $2.23 million
8. Deep Water -- $2.15 million
9. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea -- $1 million
10. The Drama -- $908,000

RZA says he and Shameik Moore might have Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan 'thing going on'

Poster for RZA's 'One Spoon of Chocolate' (36 Cinema Distribution)

RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate is now in U.S. movie theaters, starring Shameik Moore as Unique, a newly released prisoner and military veteran trying to rebuild his life in Ohio.

After collaborating with Shameik on Cut Throat City and Wu-Tang: An American Saga, RZA explains why he tapped him for the movie.

"I'm really a fan of him as an artist. I really think he has something special," he tells ABC Audio. "Every time we work together, I see him sponge up the material, and I see him just lose his self and become the energy that I need. And he does it in a very unique way. I won't describe his process, but I'm a fan his work."

RZA even compared their working relationship to other notable director-actor duos.

"It seems like my energy through him as a director to an actor, I don't know, we might have a Denzel [Washington]/Spike Lee thing going on ... or Ryan Coogler/Michael B. [Jordan]. I don't know, but I love working with him," he says.

The film also reunites RZA with Quentin Tarantino, with whom he worked on The Man with the Iron Fists and Django Unchained. "We're family. ... We're brothers," RZA says.

One Spoon of Chocolate follows Unique as he relocates to Ohio after prison, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, he becomes the target of a racist sheriff and team tied to missing Black men in the town. He prepares for vengeance by reading a survivalist handbook, inspired by a book RZA received 15 years ago.

"I actually own land in Ohio," RZA says, "and so one of my friends had gave me a book on ... how to start a fire, how to get a fish ... how they do all these things, and so I took that idea."

Greta Gerwig's 'Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew' gets wide theatrical release, moves to 2027

Greta Gerwig's Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew is getting a full theatrical release.

Netflix has announced that Gerwig's film adaptation of the novel by C.S. Lewis will get a full, wide theatrical window. It's also switching release dates. The movie will begin sneak previews on IMAX screens on Feb. 10, 2027, with a global wide release on Feb. 12, 2027. It will drop to Netflix on April 2, 2027.

This is a change from the film's previous release plan, a two-week global run on IMAX screens after opening in movie theaters on Thanksgiving Day 2026, before a Netflix drop on Christmas Day a month later.

This release strategy is a rare occurrence for the streamer. While Netflix does sometimes have limited theatrical releases in order for its titles to qualify for The Oscars, it mostly prefers to have its films debut on its streaming platform. A press release from Netflix likened the rarity to the franchise's popularity.

"A rare phenomenon that spans generations and geographies, Narnia’s release will match the scale and fandom of C. S. Lewis’s beloved books," according to Netflix. 

Gerwig wrote and directed Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. The film stars newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell alongside a star-studded ensemble including Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep.

“I was a child when I first read The Magician’s Nephew, and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life,” Gerwig said in a press release. “I didn’t know that I would grow up to make films, but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart. It is the honor of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being."

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences changes rules, makes stance on AI ahead of 99th Oscars

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced brand-new eligibility rules for the Oscars.

Among the many new changes is a stance on performances created using generative artificial intelligence. The academy has declared that only acting performances "demonstrably performed by humans with their consent will be considered eligible" to be nominated at the ceremony.

Additionally, from this point on, both lead and supporting actors can be nominated for more than one performance in those separate categories. So, for instance, if an actor had two different stand-out lead performances in the same year, they could now be nominated twice in the best actor category.

Another major change will affect the International Film category. Previously, in order to be nominated for that prize, a film had to become a country or region's official selection, meaning only one film from a specific location could be represented.

Now, non-English language films can be submitted on the basis of having won a qualifying award at an international film festival. The festivals, and their corresponding specific awards that qualify such movies, are Berlin International Film Festival and the Golden Bear, Busan International Film Festival and its Best Film Award, Cannes Film Festival and the Palme d’Or, Sundance Film Festival and its World Cinema Grand Jury Prize, Toronto International Film Festival and its Platform Award, and the Venice International Film Festival and its Golden Lion.

Many other new changes and rules have been established and are available to read on the academy's website. The 99th Academy Awards will air on ABC in 2027. According to the academy, all rules, regulations and dates for the ceremony are subject to change.

The trailer for Lisa Ann Walter's first comedy special has arrived.

Hulu has released the trailer for the Abbott Elementary actress and comedian's debut comedy special, called Lisa Ann Walter: It Was An Accident.

Walter covers many topics during the new special, including feral Gen-Xers, self-loathing and navigating a backsliding America, all told from the "no-filter lens of a grown-a** woman who has been paying attention," according to an official description.

The trailer for the special, which was filmed in Philadelphia, shows off several of Walter's jokes.

"I had a young boyfriend for a while after the divorce," Walter says. "I didn't want to, but I was divorced in LA and that's the law."

This new comedy special was written, performed, executive produced and directed by Walter. Her Abbott Elementary costar Sheryl Lee Ralph serves as one of its executive producers.

Lisa Ann Walter: It Was An Accident arrives to Hulu on May 15.

Jensen Ackles on 'The Boys'' 'Supernatural' reunion episode: 'It was fun to watch them struggle'

Eric Kripke, the showrunner of Prime Video's The Boys, also created Supernatural, which ran for 15 seasons on The WB and then The CW. Kripke then cast that show's star, Jensen Ackles, in The Boys as Soldier Boy, but the series' latest episode is a full-on Supernatural reunion.

In the episode, Antony Starr's Homelander and Ackles' Soldier Boy go to LA to talk to a supe named Mister Marathon, who they're told knows something about V1, a substance that can make Homelander immortal.  Mister Marathon is played by Jared Padalecki, who costarred with Ackles as Sam Winchester in Supernatural.

"They brought him in as a bit of a cameo appearance," Ackles told ABC Audio. "Kripke's always got crazy ideas up his sleeve. This certainly was one of them,and we had a lot of fun."

Also in that episode, Homelander and Soldier Boy encounter another supe, Malchemical, played by Misha Collins, who was Castiel in Supernatural.

"It was good to mix it up with him again, and with Misha as well, and see how they handled the deep end of the Kripke pool that is The Boys," Ackles added. "I think they did OK, but it was fun to watch them struggle." 

What did the two struggle with? Well, let's just say there's a lot of blood and gore, several deaths and general mayhem. 

By the way, there are a number of big-name stars who make cameos in that particular scene, in addition to the Supernatural guys. We won't spoil it, except to say that, in a meta moment, one of them is Seth Rogen, who happens to be one of The Boys' executive producers.

RZA hopes to emphasize importance of preparation with 'One Spoon of Chocolate'

Poster for RZA's 'One Spoon of Chocolate' (36 Cinema Distribution)

RZA's film One Spoon of Chocolate has moved from the 2025 Tribeca Festival to U.S. movie theaters. The film stars Shameik Moore as Unique, a just-released prisoner and military veteran trying to rebuild his life in Ohio, where RZA spent his teenage years. RZA confirmed parts of the story draw from his own experiences in the state.

"There was a lot of corruption in that town that I spent time in, to be quite honest with you," RZA tells ABC Audio, recalling what he was told following his 1991 arrest and subsequent acquittal. "My lawyer said to me ... 'I fought so hard for you to win your case because I knew this whole town was corrupt and they wanted you to go down, not because of the case, but because of how you look.'"

"There was some experiences there that definitely found its way into the film," he says, including racism, though RZA clarifies the story is "less about the villains, but more about the hero."

"Like how about we get a hero like Shameik Moore ... who's trying to find a better life and yet gets to a place where they're trying to stop their life from flourishing," he says.

In the film, Unique makes it his duty to physically confront the sheriff and his team who have been targeting Black men. He reads a survivalist handbook, prepares himself for the moment and ends up victorious.

While there are many themes in the story, RZA emphasizes preparation.

"Every man should walk in the world in peace, but he should always be prepared for the war," he says, before referencing a quote from in the film. "He says, 'I didn't win because I was Black or that I was better than you.' He said, 'I was better prepared.'"

Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep on returning for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'

A sequel? For spring? Groundbreaking.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 brings Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and more back to the roles they first portrayed in the original 2006 film. This new movie, which arrives to theaters on Friday, was "a joy" to make, Hathaway told ABC News.

"It's the rarest thing in the world to get a call to say, 'Hey, we're getting the band back together. We know it's been 20 years, but we've got a cool new sound,'" Hathaway said. "We all listened to it and we said, 'We agree. That's cool, that's new, that's worth risking the legacy of the first film.'"

That was one of Hathaway's main considerations when deciding whether or not to do the sequel, she said.

"If it wasn't absolutely necessary to make this one, if it didn't push the boundary, if it didn't bring us somewhere new, just let it be," Hathaway said. 

Streep agreed, saying the entire main cast, including Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, "were all so important by then," they didn't have to return to make the film if they didn't want to do so.

"We didn't have to come back, if it wasn't a really good script. If it wasn't a really good reason to make this movie at this time," Streep said.

But there was such a reason: to deliver the same joy to audiences that Hathaway described the entire cast felt making the movie.

"To deliver that kind of love of human creativity and everything it is, demonstrated in fashion and great writing and art and all the things that Runway is trying to uphold," Streep said. "That's why we did it. It's just a warm hug."

"For most people, work is something that you have to endure. But for me, running this airline, this is the best part," Lopez's Jackie says in the trailer.

It's only after the pair jet off on a destination work trip that things start to heat up between them.

"Do you believe in magic?" Jackie asks Daniel, who tells her, "Honestly, since I first walked into your office, I believe in everything."

Betty Gilpin co-stars in the film that also features Edward James Olmos, who portrayed Lopez's father in the 1997 film Selena. He plays the actress's onscreen father again in this new movie.

Office Romance was written by Goldstein and Joe Kelly and helmed by Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again director Ol Parker. It arrives to Netflix on June 5.

Olivia Rodrigo meets 'SNL''s own Miranda Priestley in promo for hosting gig

Host Olivia Rodrigo during 'SNL' promos on April 28, 2026 (Rosalind O’Connor/NBC

Olivia Rodrigo is the host and the musical guest for Saturday Night Live on May 2, and in a new promo, we are reminded of just how much she's been involved with the show over the years — in a spoof of The Devil Wears Prada.

In the promo, Olivia tells cast members Andrew Dismukes and Jane Wickline to dismiss the idea that the show will be all about her. She tells them that in order to make "the best show possible," they should think of her as a "glorified assistant," noting, "I work for you guys this week."

Cue cast member James Austin Johnson popping up in full Meryl Streep-as-Miranda Priestly drag and ordering everyone around. Olivia laughs at him, but when he gets annoyed, she explains, "It’s just my first time hosting, so I’m still learning about all these skits.”

"These skits?" James asks, then goes into a speech that parodies Miranda's "cerulean sweater" speech from the first Devil Wears Prada movie. "OK, you think this show has nothing to do with you, pop star?"

James then starts ticking off the times Olivia's been referenced by the show, or appeared on it, including the sketch where all the male cast members bond over her song "drivers license" and the 2024 "Tiny A** Bag" sketch.

"So, I find it sort of comical that you think these ‘skits’ have nothing to do with you when in fact your entire career has been turned into sketches by the people in this very room,” he tells Liv.

Before she can respond, someone else says, "Lorne [Michaels] just got here!" and everyone scrambles for cover. "Please don't tell Lorne about this," says James before running off.

Stylist says she's the inspiration behind the character Emily in 'The Devil Wears Prada'

Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.' (20th Century Studios)

A New York City-based stylist says she believes she's the real-life inspiration behind the character Emily Charlton from the popular book The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger.

The character was played by Emily Blunt in the 2006 film of the same name, the predecessor to the forthcoming sequel, which also stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.

Leslie Fremar, an assistant at Vogue in the 1990s, appeared on a recent episode of The Run-Through with Vogue podcast. She shared with host Chloe Malle — Vogue's current head of editorial content — how she learned of the character and Weisberger's 2004 book.

"I get a call from Anna [Wintour's] office saying that she wanted to see me. I was petrified, but she said, 'Who's Lauren Weisberger?' And I said, 'She was your junior assistant,' and she's like, 'Well, she wrote a book about us, and you're worse than me,'" Fremar recalled.

"I definitely told her a million girls would kill for the job," she added.

Streep portrayed the fictional Runway magazine editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly in the original film, a character widely believed to be inspired by former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Hathaway played Miranda's second assistant, Andrea Sachs, and Blunt played Miranda's first assistant, Emily Charlton.

A sequel, called The Devil Wears Prada 2, is set to be released in theaters on May 1.

Fremar said after she learned about the book and what Weisberger had written, she felt "betrayed," but never spoke to Weisberger again after their time as co-workers ended.

"There's nothing to be said," Fremar added of what she might say if the two ever meet again.

ABC News has reached out to Weisberger through her publisher, Random House, for comment.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and 20th Century Studios.

“I’m thrilled to get to tell this story with the genius Claire Danes,” Treem says. “We’ve been looking for something to do together for a very long time, and this character, Annika, is perhaps a mix of both of our wildest dreams.”

Danes is the only cast member who has been confirmed so far. She’ll also executive produce. A release date has yet to be announced.

Danes previously starred opposite Matthew Rhys in the Netflix miniseries The Beast in Me.

If your kids can't wait to hear Michael B. Jordan voice Ollie in the new movie Swapped, they can catch him chatting with Elmo in a new video from Sesame Street.

Now available on Netflix and PBS Kids, the clip features Michael asking "Elmo B. Monster" a few questions because "questions is the best way to get to know someone."

"I think it's so important to get to know the people around you. Like your neighbors, local workers, teachers, store owners, people in your community," Michael says, before Elmo chimes in, "the people in your neighborhood."

"Asking questions and making connections is the best way to learn about new cultures, music, food and so much more," Michael adds. "We could really learn a lot from each other, Elmo."

He then asks Elmo questions, including: What's it like being a monster? What are some of the things monsters like? Why don't monsters wear shoes? And what kind of ice cream do you like?

"By asking questions, we can find out that even though we're different, we have a lot in common," Elmo says, after discovering they both love cherry vanilla ice cream.

Elmo then flips the script and asks Michael for a hug, before they head off to get their favorite ice cream.

Swapped arrives in theaters on Friday.
