Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s Practical Magic 2 was anticipated to be September’s biggest hit. Yet, the follow-up to the 1998 Hollywood release has opened under projections, signaling that its backer, Warner Bros., may be facing yet another disappointment.
While the movie originally targeted a domestic debut between $40 million and $50 million, it fell short of that mark, though its earnings still comfortably surpass the domestic opening of the original picture. The first installment’s devoted cult following could continue to benefit the sequel as well.
How Much Did Practical Magic 2 Earn At The North American Box Office In 4 Days?
The drama sequel enjoyed a strong domestic launch, pulling in $13 million on its first day to secure the #1 spot at the domestic box office. Over the opening weekend, it accumulated $30 million in the USA—falling short of the anticipated $45 million. Monday brought in $1.7 million, marking a 75% decline from the Sunday figures.
