A new film, “Practical Magic 2,” is seeking to take the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office, according to reports. The movie would aim to dethrone “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” which has been leading the domestic chart for weeks.
Context from the outlets shows that “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has had strong, sustained performance on the domestic box office. The Hollywood Reporter notes that it has held the top position for six straight weeks, indicating a prolonged run at No. 1. The New York Post frames the upcoming weekend as the point where “Practical Magic 2” could finally end that dominance, describing it as the likely moment the “Spider-Man” spell is broken.
While both outlets focus on the same matchup between the two releases, their emphasis differs: one highlights the goal of displacing “Spider-Man” from No. 1, while the other centers on the prospect of ending “Spider-Man”’s streak and changing the weekend chart.
