Excitement Surrounds The Devil Wears Prada 2 Release

The much-anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, featuring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, is set to hit theaters this weekend. The film is generating significant buzz, with impressive advance ticket sales reported at the Indian box office.

As of noon on April 29, around 23,000 tickets have been sold across major cinema chains, PVR Inox and Cinepolis, for both paid previews and opening day screenings. Specifically, PVR Inox has accounted for approximately 18,000 admissions, while Cinepolis has reported about 5,000 ticket sales.

With only a few days left until its premiere, the film is maintaining strong momentum. If this trend persists, it is likely to achieve solid advance bookings. Current estimates suggest that The Devil Wears Prada 2 could open similarly to last week's release, Michael. If initial reviews are positive, a successful theatrical run is anticipated. The film is projected to earn around Rs. 7 crore in India, including paid previews.

The box office performance of this eagerly awaited sequel will be closely monitored. If it performs well in India, it would mark Hollywood's fourth Clean Hit of the year in the country, following Project Hail Mary, Lee Cronin's The Mummy, and Michael. Overall, 2026 has been a fruitful year for Hollywood films in India.

Produced by 20th Century Studios, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for theatrical release on May 1, 2026. As anticipation grows, there are rumors of surprise cameos from various actors and singers. However, it has been confirmed that Adrian Grenier will not be returning as Nate Cooper. The latest trailer highlights Streep's character, Miranda Priestly, the relentless magazine editor-in-chief, who is determined to save her company at any cost.
