“Practical Magic 2” is set to open as a fantasy sequel starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, aiming to draw audiences and challenge other weekend leads at the box office. Variety reports the film is targeting a roughly $40 million domestic debut, describing expectations that nostalgia and interest in the returning stars help it hold momentum after a strong summer.
Deadline frames the outlook more broadly, projecting a domestic range around $40 million and an overseas performance between $18 million and $23 million across 77 territories. Combined, the outlet forecasts a global opening between $58 million and $63 million. Both sources characterize the release as a “destination” for viewers, positioned by Warner Bros to keep theater attendance strong following a record U.S. summer.
While the two reports agree on the central target and overall performance ranges, they differ in emphasis: Variety focuses more on the domestic debut figure and audience appeal, while Deadline stresses the global rollout, territory count, and wider box-office context.
