Practical Magic 2 has officially made its box office debut. Despite the joint star power of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, the film has struggled to make a significant impact. While it missed its projected earnings range by a wide margin, it still managed to pull in more than double the opening weekend figures of the 1998 original. Read on for the full details.
Practical Magic 2’s domestic debut
Initial tracking suggested that Practical Magic 2 would bring in between $40 million and $50 million during its North American opening weekend, positioning it to be Warner Bros.’ first 2026 release to cross the $40 million threshold. However, those expectations were not met. Although the movie secured the #1 spot, it grossed just $30 million over its three-day domestic opening weekend. This puts it behind the debuts of Wuthering Heights at $32.8 million and The Proposal at $33.6 million.
Three-day opening weekend breakdown
- Friday – $13.1 million
- Saturday – $10.10 million
- Sunday – $6.80 million
Total – $30.0 million
Scores more than twice the OG film’s domestic debut
Data from Box Office Mojo indicates that Practical Magic 2 exceeded the opening weekend earnings of its predecessor, generating roughly 2.3 times the original’s debut. For context, the 1998 cult classic brought in only $13.1 million during its first weekend in North America. The original film finished its entire domestic run with just $46.7 million, a total the sequel is projected to eclipse within its first week or, at latest, by its second weekend.

Starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, Practical Magic 2 opened on September 11.
