A New Box Office Leader
Practical Magic 2 took the top spot at the domestic box office this weekend, earning an estimated $36 million from 4,000 locations. The Warner Bros. sequel marks a return to the screen for Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as the Owens sisters. It arrives 28 years after the original film reached audiences. Susanne Bier directed this new installment, which features Joey King and Maisie Williams as part of the cast. The film brings back original actors Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing.
Warner Bros. looks for a win with this release. The studio struggled to push any film past the $100 million mark domestically throughout 2026. This period represents the studio’s longest drought in that metric since 2001. Critics gave the film poor marks, with a 36 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, the 1998 original also faced harsh reviews before becoming a cult favorite.
The Spider-Man Record Chase
Spider-Man: Brand New Day fell to the second position in its seventh week of release. It earned between $10 million and $11 million. The film sits at $924 million in total domestic earnings. It is currently on track to overtake the $936.66 million domestic record held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Industry analysts expect the film to break that record this Sunday. This achievement would end a decade-long reign for the previous record holder.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey remains in the top five during its ninth weekend. The film earned roughly $9 million. It experienced a small drop of only 9 percent. Total earnings for the epic sit at $590 million. Analysts expect the production to clear $600 million by the end of the current frame. IMAX screenings continue to drive a large portion of the revenue for this title.
Competitive Market Movements
Coyote vs. Acme maintained the fourth position with $6 million. The film holds a domestic total of $39.9 million. Its week-to-week decline remained low at 25 percent. The fifth spot became a battleground for several new releases. The Uprising from director Paul Greengrass leads that pack with $4 million. The historical drama follows a peasant revolt against King Richard II.
Other films fought for that fifth ranking. Runner from Angel Studios and the Neon thriller Hope joined the fray. Disney also released an Oasis documentary titled Don’t Look Back in Anger. This film opened with solid numbers in the low single digits. These diverse titles fill out the rest of the top charts as the summer season fades into autumn. Market observers will watch how these mid-tier films hold their ground against the established blockbusters in the weeks ahead.
