The much-awaited Hollywood sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, has completed its first week in Indian cinemas. It finished with an impressive box office collection of over Rs. 21 crore. As a result, this strong start has brought a lot of attention to The Devil Wears Prada 2 India box office performance. It also raises questions about what it means for international releases in the country.
The comedy-drama added approximately Rs. 1.40 crore on its seventh day, maintaining a stable performance during weekdays after a strong opening weekend. Including paid previews, the film’s total first-week collection now stands at around Rs. 21.70 crore gross in India.
Industry trends suggest the movie is likely to cross the Rs. 25 crore milestone by the end of its second weekend. Despite moderate weekday growth, the sequel is expected to emerge as one of the successful Hollywood releases in India this year.
While the film may fall short of achieving a “clean hit” status due to average weekday momentum, it continues to attract audiences. Nostalgia and the return of its iconic cast both play a role in this.
Apart from Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, the movie also features Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, and several other notable stars in key roles.
The film is also expected to outperform the lifetime India collection of The Mummy. In addition, comparisons with Michael remain a topic of interest among box office analysts.
With positive audience reception and steady collections, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is continuing its successful theatrical run in India.
