'Practical Magic 2' Ends 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Box Office Reign
'Practical Magic 2' tops the North American box office, ending 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day's' six-week reign with a US$30 million debut.
After six weeks dominating the box office, Practical Magic 2 finally managed to push Spider-Man: Brand New Day down to second place. The magical sequel opened with $30 million in the United States, although this isn't a strong showing for the movie. As Variety notes, this opening is similar to the original 1998 Practical Magic, which was initially considered a failure before gaining a cult following.
Including international grosses, Practical Magic 2 has earned about $46 million, which is only a small fraction of its $75 million pre-marketing budget. Despite this, the film still topped the box office in terms of overall gross and average per theater. Runner, starring Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson, claimed fourth place with $6.4 million in its opening weekend, while South Korean film Hope opened to $3.3 million across 1,560 theaters.
The worst-performing film of the weekend was The Uprising, which brought in $3.25 million. The full top ten can be found here.
