Hollywood movie The Devil Weds Prada 2 is witnessing a superb response in its paid previews. The Meryl Streep, Anna Hathaway, and Emily Blunt starrer recorded phenomenal previews at the Indian box office. Estimates suggest that the Hollywood film collected over Rs. 2 crore gross in its Thursday previews in India, with some chances at hitting the Rs. 2.25 crore mark. Actuals will be shared later with the opening day box office report.
Interestingly, this is nearly 15 per cent higher than the previous week’s Hollywood release, Michael. For the record, the Michael Jackson biopic grossed around Rs. 1.70 crore in its previews. That said, the Meryl Streep starrer is looking for a grand opening on Friday. Based on the trends, the movie is looking for a banger Rs. 6-8 crore opening, including previews. All it needs is to record a solid growth over the weekend and then maintain a good momentum on the weekdays.
Hollywood films are witnessing a glorious year in India, with back-to-back successful ventures. With Project Hail Mary, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, Michael already bagging a Clean Hit verdict at the Indian box office, The Devil Wears Prada 2 can be the next big thing. The original film had a business of under a crore in India; however, the film’s popularity grew manifold over time with satellite releases.
