Audiences gave The Devil Wears Prada 2 a CinemaScore grade of A−. The mark reflects exit polling of moviegoers who attended opening-weekend screenings, rather than the opinions of professional critics or the film’s Rotten Tomatoes audience score.
CinemaScore uses letter grades modeled on school report cards, with A-range marks indicating especially strong immediate audience satisfaction. An A− is therefore a positive opening-weekend signal, though it is not the same thing as a review score or a prediction of the film’s final box-office performance.
A common mix-up is confusing the grade with the movie’s critical reception or with the original film’s audience rating. Another is treating A− as “A minus” only informally; in CinemaScore reporting, the minus is part of the published grade. The sequel’s result indicates that returning fans and new viewers broadly responded favorably when they first saw it in theaters.
