Released on **May 1, 2026**, by 20th Century Studios, *The Devil Wears Prada 2* reunites the iconic trio — **Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt** — nearly two decades after the beloved original. And if the preview numbers are anything to go by, India is absolutely ready for Miranda Priestly’s return.

The film collected approximately **₹1.75 crore in paid previews alone**, slightly edging past the Michael biopic’s ₹1.70 crore preview haul from the previous week. PVRINOX, India’s largest multiplex chain, accounted for roughly **70% of collections**, with the biggest numbers pouring in from Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru.

> The sequel is projected to open around **₹5 crore on Day 1** (including previews) — a huge leap from the original 2006 film, which barely crossed ₹1 crore in India during its theatrical run.

### Why This Film Feels Different?

The original *The Devil Wears Prada* quietly became a cultural phenomenon in India through satellite TV and OTT, building a massive fanbase that barely existed during its theatrical run. That’s exactly why this sequel carries far more weight than the numbers from 2006 would suggest.

Hollywood is genuinely on a roll in India this year — *Project Hail Mary*, *Lee Cronin’s The Mummy*, and *Michael* have all performed strongly at the domestic box office. *The Devil Wears Prada 2* could be the **next big Hollywood hit of 2026 in India**.

The trailer shows Streep’s Miranda Priestly fighting to save her media empire — sharp, fierce, and utterly compelling.
