Overview
- People and industry outlets reported Tuesday that the film will be available digitally on June 30, on physical disc July 28, and begin streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on July 29.
- The sequel reunited key original talent, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci returning and director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna back behind the camera.
- Studios are packaging extras to drive purchases: digital and physical editions include a gag reel (which features a surprise Karl‑Anthony Towns cameo), behind‑the‑scenes featurettes, an audio commentary with costume designer Molly Rogers plus Frankel and McKenna, and a music video for the original song “Runway.”
- The movie grossed roughly $677 million worldwide on a reported production budget near $100 million, a commercial performance that the rollout and bonus strategy aim to extend into home‑market revenues.
- The two‑decade sequel and its staged release reflect current studio windowing practices that favor short paid windows before moving titles to streamer catalogs, a pattern that can boost early digital and physical sales while reserving streaming for broader audience reach.
