Practical Magic 2 opened to $30 million domestically, a debut that mirrors the recent box office pattern of Sandra Bullock’s live-action films. Warner Bros. and Alcon’s sequel to the 1998 romantic drama landed within the star’s typical range, though it failed to deliver the post-Labor Day fireworks the studio has enjoyed in recent years.
How much did Practical Magic 2 make at box office?
The Practical Magic 2 box office result puts the sequel squarely in familiar territory. Its $30 million domestic start sits between The Lost City’s $30.4 million, The Proposal’s $33.6 million, and The Blind Side’s $34.1 million. That consistency suggests Sandra Bullock’s core audience showed up, even if the film never threatened franchise-level numbers.
For context, the original Practical Magic finished its 1998 run with $46.7 million domestic and $47.7 million international, totaling $94.4 million worldwide. The sequel already matches that entire domestic haul in its opening weekend alone (via Box Office Mojo).
Globally, Practical Magic 2 reached $46 million, split between $30 million domestic and $16 million overseas. The sequel draws most of its strength from North America, a pattern typical of Bullock-led properties. The international start fell short of the $18M-$23 million the studio targeted across 77 territories. Moreover, Practical Magic 2 grossed $30 million domestically and $46 million worldwide in its opening frame. Thursday previews added $4.7 million from 3,200 locations.

The film cost a net of $75 million, financed 50/50 with Alcon. Audience reception is strong: 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Women made up 78% of turnout, with 69% over 25 and 36% over 45. The under-25 female share grew 10 points between Thursday and Saturday, reaching 23%.
The overall weekend hit $83.4 million, down 44% from a year ago. Warners has owned this corridor recently with horror sequels and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (via Deadline).
By those standards, the Practical Magic 2 box office debut is par for the course. The question now is whether strong word-of-mouth keeps this property humming through autumn.
