'The Devil Wears Prada 2' and Ariana Grande's new album are among the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you this week. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time this week, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,' 'Diarra from Detroit' and Lollapalooza, from the comfort of wherever you choose to watch it.
— Coming two decades after the original, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' (Wednesday, July 29 on Hulu and Disney+) re-teams Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt in another trip through the high-fashion Manhattan world of Runway Magazine. With more than $688 million in worldwide ticket sales, the 20-years-later sequel was a hit at the box office. In it, Hathaway's Andy returns to Runway to help save it from a sad media fate. In my review, I wrote that 'mid-life career changes aren't nearly as compelling or relatable as a newbie assistant thrown into the high-fashion fire.'
— An even bigger box-office hit, 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' became the first movie to cross $1 billion in cinemas earlier this year. The animated film based on the beloved Nintendo game, arrives July 30 on Peacock. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr wrote that merchandising supersedes storytelling in the film, 'taking you out of the escape of this wondrous dream world and back into the realities of late-stage capitalism.'
— Kristoffer Borgli's 'The Drama' (July 31 on HBO Max), starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, tried to kick up some of its own drama when the dark comedy opened in theaters this spring. Zendaya and Pattinson play an engaged couple whose relationship unravels after a confession over dinner. In his review, AP's Mark Kennedy wrote that the film 'wastes two of the planet's most gorgeous people.'
