Miranda Priestly Is Back — And India’s Box Office Is Already Trembling!

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. Learn more about The Devil Wears Prada franchise on Wikipedia to understand just how culturally significant this universe is.
