A South Korea box office snapshot for The Devil Wears Prada 2. What it does, and does not, tell us.
Box Office Mojo's historical table lists the sequel at No. 1 in South Korea for May 8 to 10, 2026. That tracker-specific snapshot does not establish why the film held that position.
Reported facts
Box Office Mojo's South Korea weekend table lists The Devil Wears Prada 2 at No. 1 for May 8 to 10, its second listed weekend, with $1.848 million for the frame and $8.26 million to date.

The Korean Film Council's KOBIZ service publishes official national market tables, but its English yearly page is a rolling market view rather than a fixed copy of that May weekend. This page therefore attributes the exact historical rank and window to Box Office Mojo.

TVI currently scores the 2006 original at 129/200 and the 2026 sequel at 129/200. They are separate assessments with different dimension profiles.

TVI analysis: what the two scores measure
The Korean weekend rank and the TVI Score record different objects. The chart records ticket revenue in one territory and window. The score records a human assessment of the work. Neither measurement can establish why the other occurred.
The 2006 original's profile is uneven in a useful way: Cognitive Stimulation 31/50, Educational Value 28/50, and Craft & Quality 40/50. The limited conclusion is that craft is the original's strongest scored dimension. That result cannot tell us why Korean customers bought tickets for the sequel.
The sequel now has its own 129/200 TVI Score, with Cognitive Stimulation 33/50, Educational Value 27/50, and Craft & Quality 38/50. That is a separate assessment, not a causal explanation for its box office position.
