The Devil Wears Prada 2, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, has completed its run at the Indian box office. The film added around Rs. 1 lakh during its seventh week, taking its total collection to Rs. 34.50 crore gross in India. The movie also finished with an estimated Rs. 28.50 crore nett collection.
The sequel had a strong start at the Indian box office. Excluding paid previews, it opened with Rs. 4.50 crore and went on to collect around Rs. 21.50 crore during its first week. The movie maintained a steady performance in the following weeks and continued attracting audiences over a long theatrical run.
In its second week, the film earned Rs. 7.75 crore. Collections slowed in the third week but still added Rs. 3.00 crore to the total. During the fourth week, the movie collected another Rs. 1.50 crore. From the fifth week onwards, collections naturally declined, with the film adding around Rs. 76 lakh across the fifth, sixth and seventh weeks combined.
The performance of The Devil Wears Prada 2 was significantly stronger than that of the original film. Released in 2006, The Devil Wears Prada had earned less than Rs. 1 crore during its entire theatrical run in India. The sequel’s final total of Rs. 34.50 crore gross represents a major increase compared to the first movie’s performance.
Apart from Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, the film features a large ensemble cast including Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, Conrad Ricamora, Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman.
