Huge Salaries Revealed For ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt

According to reporting from Variety, the cast of ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is raking in substantial salaries as the sequel continues its impressive box office performance, having already surpassed 300 million dollars globally.

The film reunites the original trio of stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt nearly 20 years after the first installment. In this sequel, Streep reprises her role as Miranda Priestly, the formidable fashion magazine editor.

Sources informed Variety that Streep earned approximately 12.5 million dollars for her return. Despite being the studio’s main focus, she ensured her co-stars received equal treatment during negotiations.

According to the report, all three actresses agreed to a “favored nations” deal, ensuring that Hathaway and Blunt also received the same 12.5 million dollar salary for reprising their roles as Andrea Sachs and Emily Charlton.

This deal is considered rare in Hollywood, as it maintains equal pay among the main cast. One source noted that it highlights the significance of the original trio and the chemistry that contributed to the first film’s success.

In addition to their base salaries, the actresses are likely to receive significant bonuses based on the film’s box office success. These bonuses are linked to revenue milestones, with some early payments already initiated due to the sequel’s strong global performance.

The report also indicates that if the film maintains its current momentum, each star could ultimately earn over 20 million dollars in total compensation.

Representatives for 20th Century Studios and the actors’ agencies did not provide comments when contacted by Variety.

The original ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ was released in 2006 and became a major success, grossing over 300 million dollars worldwide. The sequel, directed by David Frankel, continues the story with a significantly larger budget, much of which is reportedly allocated to the cast.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is currently in its second weekend of release and is anticipated to continue performing well at the box office.
