Practical Magic 2 has officially become the top-earning installment in the franchise, overtaking its predecessor.

Practical Magic 2 crosses $50 million at the North American box office
On its second Monday, the fantasy romance brought in $951k domestically, holding strong at the #2 spot at the North American box office. Although earnings dropped by 45.2% compared to the previous Monday, the film expanded its theater count over the past week.

Practical Magic 2 surpasses the OG film’s domestic total
Figures from Box Office Mojo confirm that the sequel has officially surpassed the first film to become the franchise’s highest-grossing entry. Released in 1998, the original movie initially stumbled as a box-office flop before developing a passionate cult following. During its theatrical run spanning roughly 13 weekends, the original picture brought in $46.7 million domestically. Practical Magic 2 has eclipsed that domestic figure in under 15 days, cementing its status as the series’ leading earner.
