The highly anticipated sequel to the iconic 2006 film "The Devil Wears Prada" has finally arrived, and fans are eager to know when they can stream it at home. While the movie is currently dominating the box office, with impressive box office numbers, it's important to note that it's not yet available for streaming. Here's a breakdown of the streaming possibilities for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and some insights into the streaming landscape.
When Will It Be Available for Streaming?
The movie is expected to be available for premium video on demand (PVOD) rental around the end of June or the beginning of July. This is a standard turnaround time for Disney, the studio behind the film, as they have been releasing some of their 2021 releases on PVOD simultaneously with their theatrical debuts. This means that the movie will likely be available for rent on digital platforms shortly after its theatrical run winds down.
Hulu or Disney+?
The streaming home for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is likely to be Hulu, as it is a Fox movie, and Hulu is generally associated with Fox releases. However, Disney+ is also a possibility, as many subscribers use both services, and some titles appear on both platforms. The exact release date on Hulu/Disney+ is tricky to predict, as it varies depending on the success of the movie. For instance, "Ella McCay" was released on Hulu just a couple of weeks after its PVOD debut, while "Send Help" took six weeks.
Given that "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is a bigger hit than "Send Help" but not as big as the Avatar sequel, a fair estimate would place its release on Hulu around the latter half of August. This timing allows streaming viewers to enjoy the summer blockbuster just as the season winds down.
Netflix and Other Streamers?
It's worth mentioning that Netflix is not the initial streaming destination for this film. While anything can happen in the future, there are no immediate plans for the movie to drop on Netflix upon its release. However, it's possible that it will be licensed to other streamers like Netflix at a later date, but for now, Hulu seems to be the primary streaming platform.
In summary, "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is not yet available for streaming, but it will likely be on PVOD rental soon. Hulu is the likely initial streaming home, but Disney+ could also be an option. Fans will have to wait a few months to catch up with the characters and enjoy the movie from the comfort of their homes.
