From Box Office Flop to Cult Classic
When Practical Magic debuted in 1998, it underperformed at the box office, grossing $68 million against a $75 million budget. However, its legacy grew over time, becoming a perennial favorite through home video releases. In recent years, the film has experienced a streaming resurgence, especially during Halloween.
Long-Awaited Sequel Finally in Motion
The journey to Practical Magic 2 was years in the making. Director Susanne Bier took the helm, with a screenplay written by Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett. The project gained momentum when Sandra Bullock contributed a story idea that paved the way for a successful return.
Mark Your Calendars
The sequel is set to open exclusively in theaters on September 11. The executive producers include Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Donald Sabourin, and Alice Hoffman.
