Devil Wears Prada 2 opens in India with ₹5.5 crore on Day 1, Mumbai leads
Devil Wears Prada 2 kicks off in India with ₹5.5 crore net on opening day, boosted by paid previews; Mumbai shows strong occupancy as numbers roll in.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened in India with ₹3.8 crore nett on opening day, boosted by paid preview shows starting Thursday evening that added ₹1.7 crore. The combined opening day total stands at ₹5.5 crore net, with gross ₹6.57 crore. The release was spread across 1,644 shows, delivering an overall occupancy of 47.82%. Mumbai led the charge with 212 shows and a solid occupancy of 59.9%, while Delhi NCR contributed 330 screenings at 28.8% occupancy. Morning shows were 28.44% full, the afternoon rose to 54%, the evening hovered around 53.44%, and night shows settled near 47.78%. Further context places the film’s start among recent Hollywood releases in India, with strong competition from both global titles and domestic releases.
In comparison with other recent releases, Prada 2 opened slightly better than Michael, which earned ₹3.7 crore nett on its first day. Project Hail Mary, by contrast, opened with ₹2.25 crore and is noted as the biggest Hollywood hit in India in 2026, with a ₹66 crore net, though it faced stiff competition from titles like Dhurandhar 2 and other holdovers. On the domestic front, blockbuster benchmarks for the year include Oppenheimer at about ₹14.5 crore and Spider-Man: No Way Home at ₹32.67 crore in India.
Industry observers will be watching whether Prada 2 sustains momentum beyond its first day, given the mix of paid previews, regional screenings, and the ongoing push from homegrown titles such as Raja Shivaji and other releases. The numbers suggest a modest yet encouraging start for a sequel, with room to grow as audiences weigh the film against both global prestige releases and popular local options.
