Practical Magic 2 Fizzles at $30M - Worse Than Predicted!

Practical Magic 2 Fizzles at $30M - Worse Than Predicted! Practical Magic 2 took number one and still missed. Warner’s sequel opened to about $30 million domestic — Variety’s word was “fizzles” - after $13 million Friday, a B+ CinemaScore, and a room that skewed about 80% female and 45–54. That’s 4,146 theaters and roughly $7,200 per screen. Global talk started immediately: $46 million worldwide. The host called that the first sign of trouble. Previews were only $4.7 million. Tracking had hoped for $30 million and still treated that as a save. The host’s earlier $34 million call was already a cut from Variety’s $40–50 million; the real open came in softer and may get revised down Monday. Bullock and Kidman could not broaden it. RT sat around 34–36%. The 1998 original opened to $13 million — about $27 million today — so this is almost a straight inflation remake of a flop that later became a streaming cult title after 100 days in the Max top 10. Rest of the frame: Brand New Day $8.4 million (54% drop, 3,300 theaters) while it eyes the all-time domestic record. The Odyssey $7.4 million on under 2,000 screens, near $600 million domestic. Runner $6.4 million. Coyote vs. Acme $6.2 million / $47.7 million cume. Full weekend: $81.6 million from 27 films - still under $100 million.
