Practical Magic 2, the long-awaited sequel starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as the Owens sisters, opens wide on September 10, 2026, following a London premiere in late August. Early critic reviews have anchored the Tomatometer in the low-to-mid 30s based on roughly 30–40 assessments, citing a messy script, uneven pacing, and failure to recapture the original’s charm despite strong turns from the leads and supporting cast including Joey King and Maisie Williams. Directed by Susanne Bier from a screenplay drawing on Alice Hoffman’s The Book of Magic, the film emphasizes multigenerational family curses and sisterhood themes that echo the 1998 cult favorite’s 30% score. Audience reception remains unmeasured ahead of release, though nostalgia and word-of-mouth could diverge from critical consensus as with the first film.
