The Devil Wears Prada 2 Box Office: The Comedy Drama Matches Michael With 2 Crore Paid Previews In India

Mumbai, May 1 - The much-awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 has kicked off its India run on a promising note, delivering solid numbers from paid previews and signalling strong urban traction. According to estimates, the film has collected around 1.90-2 crore gross from paid previews across India.

This puts it right on par with Michael, which had clocked around 2 crore gross in paid previews last week. The collections are heavily driven by metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru, with premium chains such as PVR INOX contributing a significant chunk of the business.

This trend highlights the film's appeal among urban audiences, typical for a stylish, dialogue-heavy comedy-drama rather than a mass-market spectacle. With positive momentum from previews, the film is now eyeing an opening day of 7-8 crore (including previews) in India.

Hollywood films have been enjoying a good run in India in 2026, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 is well-positioned to continue that streak. The nostalgic value of the 2006 original, combined with the returning star cast led by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, is clearly working in its favour.

If the film shows good growth over the weekend and maintains steady weekday holds, it could comfortably join the list of successful Hollywood releases in India this year.
