“The Devil Wears Prada 2” has emerged as a streaming success for Disney, accumulating 15.2 million views across Disney+ and Hulu during its first five days of availability. The viewership figure was calculated by dividing total streaming hours by the film’s 119-minute length, establishing it as the platform’s most-watched live-action movie premiere since “Deadpool & Wolverine” launched in 2024.
The fashion sequel’s streaming performance is particularly noteworthy given its theatrical run preceding its digital release. The film generated substantial box office revenue, earning $220.6 million domestically and $691.4 million worldwide against a $100 million budget. Its continued strong viewership months after theatrical release suggests the film appeals to repeat audiences and continues attracting new viewers to the platform.
The sequel reunites original cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt, with newcomers including Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, and Kenneth Branagh joining the ensemble. Director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna returned for the follow-up, which draws from characters originated in Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel.
