Overview
- The sequel became available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu on July 29, giving subscribers immediate access to the reunited principal cast.
- The home window followed an earlier digital sale on June 30 and a 4K Ultra HD/Blu‑ray release on July 28 that includes an almost two‑hour director and writer audio commentary.
- The film was a major theatrical success, grossing more than $676 million worldwide and pushing the two‑picture franchise past $1 billion at the global box office.
- Reviewers of the 4K disc praised its transfer and Dolby Atmos mix for richer color and immersive sound, and noted physical extras such as featurettes, a gag reel, and a Lady Gaga and Doechii music video are not always available on streamers.
- Filmmakers say the sequel was shaped to honor the 2006 original while probing how journalism, magazine publishing, and fashion have changed over two decades, a framing likely to drive renewed discussion now that the film is widely viewable at home.
