Practical Magic 2 reunites Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have reunited for the sequel to the 1998 cult classic 'Practical Magic'. Directed by Susanne Bier, 'Practical Magic 2' follows the Owens sisters, Sally and Gillian, as they navigate a renewed family curse that affects those they love. The story expands to include the next generation, featuring Joey King and Maisie Williams as Sally’s daughters, Kylie and Antonia.
Early box office indicators show a solid start, with Thursday previews estimated between $3.5 million and $4 million. While critics have offered mixed reviews, noting a shift from the original’s campy whimsy toward a more spooky tone, the film is tapping into significant nostalgia. Cast members have noted that the sequel's demand was driven by fans longing for simpler, less connected times.
The production also features the return of original cast members Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing. The film's release has been accompanied by international promotional tours and special screenings in various territories, including the Philippines and Japan.
