It reunites director David Frankel with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, nearly 20 years after the original. Fans, especially women, are driving the hype, and promoters like Lori L. Dior, Mercedes-Benz, and Diet Coke are all in. Lady Gaga and Douchy just dropped a new track runway from the movie, racking up 3.1 million YouTube views already. Preview star Thursday at 2pm, grabbing 1,000 premium screens.
