Studio shake-up
Warner Bros.' Paramount takeover has officially taken effect, and studio chiefs Pam Abdy and Michael De Luca have departed.
Practical Magic was not a theatrical hit and became beloved later through home video and October cable airings, leading Warner Bros. to greenlight a sequel. The sequel had a 59 percent second-weekend drop and by early October was pulling under $3 million a weekend. It carries a $75 million production budget and a reported break-even point in the $150 million range.
