Practical Magic 2 secured the number one spot at the North American box office this weekend, earning an estimated 30 million dollars across 4,146 theaters. Distributed by Warner Bros and directed by Susanne Bier, the fantasy sequel stars original leads Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, nearly thirty years after the release of the 1998 cult classic. The film dethroned Spider-Man Brand New Day, which had led domestic charts for six consecutive weeks. Additionally, the sequel grossed 16 million dollars from 77 international markets, resulting in a worldwide opening weekend of approximately 46 million dollars against a reported 75 million dollar production budget. Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian noted that the return of the principal actors was vital for generating initial interest. The film achieved earnings at the lower end of Warner Bros initial projections of 30 to 35 million dollars, leaving its second-week box office hold as the primary indicator of its theatrical longevity.
