A near-30-year gap between films and the sequel still opens like the built-in audience never stopped waiting.
Practical Magic 2 closed its opening weekend at $30.0M domestic, Day 3 adding $6.8M — down 32.7% from Saturday's $10.1M, a normal weekend curve for a wide release rather than a warning sign.

A Friday-to-Sunday decline in that range is close to typical for a female-led ensemble drama rather than an action tentpole, where audiences tend to front-load less aggressively across the weekend. No budget figure is attached yet, so there's nothing to measure the $30.0M opening against directly — the more useful test now is how the film holds through its first weekdays, where a returning-audience film either shows real legs or fades like a standard one-weekend event.
