Practical Magic 2 Aims for $58M-$63M Global Opening

Warner Bros.’ Practical Magic 2 is tracking for a global start of about $58M-$63M, with roughly $40M domestic and $18M-$23M overseas across 77 territories (excluding China). The PG-13 sequel stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, is directed by Stephanie Bier, and is based on Alice Hoffman's The Book of Magic, following a multi-gen witch family as they attempt to break a spell. The first film grossed about $94.4M worldwide on a $75M budget; critics are mixed (about 34% on Rotten Tomatoes for the sequel), but WB hopes strong pre-sales and fan interest will give it staying power even if it doesn’t reach Devil Wears Prada 2-scale success.

Two Witches, One Cozy Reunion: Practical Magic 2 Reignites the Owens’ Charm

Practical Magic 2 reunites Sally and Gillian Owens (Bullock and Kidman) 28 years after the original, sending them to England to confront a renewed family curse. Directed by Susanne Bier, the nostalgic sequel leans into their chemistry and the mythology of Alice Hoffman’s world, delivering polished visuals and a heartfelt, if uneven, journey that values character over blockbuster spectacle. The film praises Bullock’s and Kidman’s performances, expands the Owens saga, and earns a B+ with a Sept. 10 theatrical release.

Legacy Nostalgia Overload: Practical Magic 2 Struggles Among 2026 Blockbusters

Across four reviews, the piece deconstructs four 2026 releases: Practical Magic 2 is blasted for rushing the setup and nostalgia-peddling; Na Hong-jin’s Hope earns faint praise for its audacious creature design and mood despite a sprawling, enigmatic runtime; By Any Means is criticized for overbearing violence and a thin script that undercuts its moral stakes; Runner is deemed forgettable outside of Alan Ritchson’s physical presence. Overall, the author suggests these high-profile sequels and thrillers struggle to justify their scope or recapture the charm of their predecessors.

Practical Magic 2 Fails to Cast a Fresh Spell With Critics

Rotten Tomatoes’ early critics give Practical Magic 2 a 34% rotten score, calling it a retread of the 1998 film, though Bullock and Kidman’s chemistry earns some praise; the belated sequel follows the Owens sisters 25 years after the original as they try to end a family curse. The original sits at 30% on RT with audiences warmer (73% fresh). Warner Bros. is betting on star power to buoy performance, but reviews remain mixed and more critiques are still to come.
