Practical Magic 2 crashed at the box office on its opening weekend despite solid projections. It has crossed the $50 million milestone at the worldwide box office, edging closer to beating its predecessor as the franchise’s biggest hit. Despite the underwhelming landing, the film could beat the OG movie’s worldwide haul in its second weekend only. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The film landed with poor numbers, as mentioned above. Still, with the Halloween season almost here, people might find it intriguing. However, Resident Evil and Avengers: Endgame Encore are on their way to ruin the fun for the Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman starrer fantasy film.

Box office summary of Practical Magic 2
- Domestic – $34.7 million
- International – $17.0 million
- Worldwide – $51.7 million
Needs less than $45 million to surpass the original movie worldwide
Practical Magic was released in 1998 and was a box-office flop. The fantasy romance drama ended its box office run below the $100 million milestone worldwide. According to the box office database, the first movie collected $94.4 million worldwide over its lifetime. It was against a $75 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo.
Therefore, the latest sequel is less than $45 million away from surpassing the first film’s global lifetime total to become the highest-grossing entry in the franchise. It might happen in its second weekend, since it had a stronger debut than the previous film. The 2026 movie will hit the $100 million milestone worldwide.
What is the film about?
The film follows the Owens sisters as they return to a world of moonlit mischief and powerful ancestral Magic, confronting a dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all in a spellbinding adventure filled with fun, Magic, and mayhem. Practical Magic 2, starring Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, and Lee Pace, was released on September 11.
