Practical Magic 2 Surprises Box Office | Wilmington News
Description
Practical Magic 2 stormed the box office this weekend with a $30 million debut, fueled by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s magnetic return after 28 years — proving nostalgia and witchy family drama still pack a punch. Though below Warner Bros.’ $75 million target, analysts credit the duo’s chemistry for reigniting interest, with next weekend’s performance set to reveal if the sequel can sustain momentum. The original’s cult status, built on streaming and social buzz, now faces a new generation of Owens witches — including Joey King and Maisie Williams — whose take on Alice Hoffman’s story drew mixed reviews. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day slid to 2 with $8.4M, while Nolan’s The Odyssey held strong at 3 with $7.4M, cementing its global dominance. Overall, the fall box office is thriving, up nearly 20% year-over-year, as audiences treat theaters like a diverse streaming buffet — proving there’s room for magic, superheroes, and epic adventures alike.
