Overview
- The film led Italy’s box office on Wednesday, opening to about €2.71 million across 564 screens in what la Repubblica calls 2026’s strongest first day, outpacing the debuts of Barbie and Super Mario Galaxy.
- Released in Italy on April 29, the movie reunites Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna.
- The story shifts focus to the squeeze on legacy fashion magazines, with clicks and advertisers driving survival as Andy Sachs returns to Runway as a features editor.
- Early reviews split: outlets praise the high-fashion sheen, Milan and Lake Como settings, and designer cameos, while many fault a softened Miranda Priestly and a script seen as thin or disjointed.
- Studios and brands mount a heavy style showcase, with extensive Italian location work, a new song by Lady Gaga, and eye-popping wardrobe counts reported at roughly 47 looks for Hathaway and about 28 for Streep.
