The sequel's theatrical footprint shrank a week after it arrived on PVOD, following a run that opened in more than 4,000 theaters.
Warner Bros. has effectively ended the theatrical run of Practical Magic 2, cutting the sequel's theater count to around 3,900 on October 23, 2026, according to Collider. The reduction came a week after the film debuted on the PVOD market.
The sequel had initially opened in more than 4,000 theaters nationwide. It underperformed at the box office.
Practical Magic 2 arrived nearly three decades after the first film, with the original leads reprising their roles. Maisie Williams and Joey King joined the cast for the sequel.
The legacy-sequel track
The first Practical Magic, released nearly three decades ago, had a lukewarm theatrical run before becoming a cult favorite on DVD and television. Other belated follow-ups have followed different paths: Hocus Pocus 2 went directly to Disney+ in 2022, while Freakier Friday grossed $153 million worldwide and the Mean Girls reboot took $105 million. The Devil Wears Prada 2 generated around $700 million worldwide in summer 2026.
