Who would think that a movie about fashion, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, would clear $39 million in its first week? I don’t think even the producers thought they could pull this off! But the flick, “The Devil Wears Prada”, certainly did gangbuster business, especially considering all the Summer Event films it was up against. “Superman Returns” was the big enchilada with $106 million in the bank (less than expected, but only by Hollywood standards), and the Adam Sandler flick “Click” came in third with $29. But damn! $39 million for a movie about a girl who gets a job at a fashion magazine! Chicks must have been out in force at the movie theaters last week. And I could be wrong, but I’m guessing this is the first time more than 10 people has seen a Meryl Streep movie since the ’70s.
