Michael Tops 50 Crore Gross As Devil Wears Prada 2 Scores 22 Crore First Week In India; Project Hail Mary Finishes With 85+ Crore Gross

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 8 - The Hollywood films are on a winning spree at the Indian box office with back-to-back successes. After Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary struck an unlikely big success, Michael Jackson's biopic, Michael, followed suit to join the Hollywood hits at the Indian box office. Michael Crosses A Major Milestone (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Michael has turned out to be one of the strongest performers among recent Hollywood releases. Despite competition from multiple local films and changing audience trends, the movie has maintained impressive momentum during its theatrical run and officially crossed the 50 crore gross milestone worldwide. The cult following of Pop King, along with decent word of mouth, has played a major role in the film's success. In two weeks (14 days), the musical biopic has grossed approximately 53 crores at the Indian box office, and is currently the second-highest-grossing Hollywood film in the country. Michael scored around 22 crores gross in the second week, dropping by just around 30% from the opening frame. With a steady run, the film will be looking to finish its theatrical run in India at 70+ crores gross, a solid number for a niche subject. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Devil Wears Prada 2 Ends First Week With 22 Crore In India Hollywood comedy-drama sequel Devil Wears Prada 2, starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, has wrapped up its first week in India with a collection of around 22 crore gross. The film opened to decent urban occupancy and performed best in metro cities, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Hyderabad. It will be aiming to finish its run with around 40 crore gross. Project Hail Mary Finishes With 85+ Crore Gross The biggest Hollywood success story of 2026 at the Indian box office, Project Hail Mary, has almost concluded its theatrical run. While the film failed to reach the 100 crores gross mark, it managed to clock 85+ crores gross, a solid result for a sci-fi space film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Even though the movie is still playing in limited theatres, sustaining a collection with growing competition will make it tough to retain showcasing, especially with a slowing trajectory. In six weeks (43 days) so far, Project Hail Mary has minted 85.50 crores gross, with very little room to score more. With Michael crossing a major milestone, Devil Wears Prada 2 delivering a steady India run, and Project Hail Mary ending with blockbuster numbers, Hollywood films continue to maintain a visible presence at the Indian box office, with major blockbusters yet to come in the form of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Avengers: Doomsday, Dune Part 3, and Jumanji: Open World, among many others.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Box Office: The Comedy Drama Matches Michael With 2 Crore Paid Previews In India

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 1 - The much-awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 has kicked off its India run on a promising note, delivering solid numbers from paid previews and signalling strong urban traction. According to estimates, the film has collected around 1.90-2 crore gross from paid previews across India. This puts it right on par with Michael, which had clocked around 2 crore gross in paid previews last week. The collections are heavily driven by metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru, with premium chains such as PVR INOX contributing a significant chunk of the business. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This trend highlights the film's appeal among urban audiences, typical for a stylish, dialogue-heavy comedy-drama rather than a mass-market spectacle. With positive momentum from previews, the film is now eyeing an opening day of 7-8 crore (including previews) in India. Hollywood films have been enjoying a good run in India in 2026, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 is well-positioned to continue that streak. The nostalgic value of the 2006 original, combined with the returning star cast led by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, is clearly working in its favour. If the film shows good growth over the weekend and maintains steady weekday holds, it could comfortably join the list of successful Hollywood releases in India this year.

'Don't Look Up' behind-the-scenes podcast series announced by Netflix

BY SACNILK

Los Angeles, Dec 28 (IANS) Streaming giant Netflix has announced 'The Last Movie Ever Made', an upcoming podcast series that will offer a behind-the-scenes look at writer-director Adam McKay's comedic disaster film 'Don't Look Up'. ## The podcast series will be composed of six episodes and will debut its first installment on January 7, 2022, reports variety.com. ## Along with a glimpse into the film's production process and an argument regarding the story's parallels to how ruling institutions have mishandled the Covid pandemic, the podcast will also feature appearances by various members of its sizable ensemble cast, including Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Tyler Perry, Ariana Grande, Timothee Chalamet, Rob Morgan and Himesh Patel. ## "In early 2020, Adam McKay set out to make a comedy," reads the podcast's tagline. ## "It was meant to make fun of, and point to, the forces stopping us from saving ourselves from climate change. 2020, of course, had other plans. This is what happened when a cast and crew came together to make a disaster comedy, while living through a series of very uncomedic disasters." ## After a limited theatrical release that began on December 10, 'Don't Look Up' became available to stream on Netflix on December 24. ## The film has been met by a mixed response, though it still seems poised as a formidable contender in this year's awards race, with some calling it "too funny to lose." ## In his review of 'Don't Look Up', Variety chief film critic Peter Debruge called the film's tone "grating, even if you don't have to look far to see some version of what he's ranting about in the real world." McKay recently spoke with Variety about the film's multiple endings. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates.

IANS Review: 'Don't Look Up': Mirrors the dysfunctional state of politics and media (IANS Rating: **1/2)

BY SACNILK

Film: 'Don't Look Up' (Streaming on Netflix); Duration: 138 minutes ## Director: Adam McKay ## Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Evans, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Rob Morgan, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Mark Rylance, Timothee Chalamet ## IANS Rating: **1/2 ## Director Adam McKay's 'Don't Look Up' is a sci-fi-based goofy satire that gets uncomfortably real. At its core, it delivers a very sharp treatise on the dysfunctional state of affairs in politics and media, in which everyone is so short-sighted as to be unable to focus on an existential threat. The film begins with a pair of Michigan State astronomers, Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio), and his Ph.D. Student Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) discovering a huge comet. But the excitement of the discovery soon fizzles out when they realise that the comet's trajectory leads to a direct collision with Earth in a little over six months, and it will cause an extinction-level event. ## Understandably alarmed, they rush to the White House to inform President Orlean (Meryl Steep), who along with her son and chief of staff Jason Orlean (Jonah Hill), does not take the duo seriously. The astronomers struggle to get their message across because no one wants to hear bad news. So, they then attempt to break the news of their findings via the media. They appear on the morning news talk show anchored by Jack Bremmer (Tyler Perry) and Brie Evantee (Cate Blanchett), who stand out as self-absorbed TV anchors. Here they are told to keep things light. When Kate explodes in frustration and tells the hosts that doomsday is near, she becomes a meme. ## Then there is a tech billionaire Peter Isherwell (Mark Rylance), who sees opportunities to cash in on the comet's natural resources. ## The premise of the film may sound absurd- if it did not feel so close to reality. The narrative races with a scathing indictment of everything about our media and political ecosystem. It makes you open your eyes at; the erosion of our ability to react in time, to understand that something awful could happen, and it is happening right now. ## The seriousness of the issue gets thawed with the piling up of celebrities in minor roles with their specific agenda or subplots who basically serve as flashy and somewhat unnecessary window dressing. So, what starts on a serious, hot-dramatic note gradually becomes a lukewarm comedic flawed tale. ## While Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill act as caricatures, the rest of the entire cast delivers an earnest performance. ## Overall, the title 'Don't Look Up' aptly implies the Ostrich syndrome, which we humans often indulge. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates.
