Summary
Practical Magic 2 settled at 35% on Rotten Tomatoes, leaving the long-awaited sequel firmly in rotten territory despite slightly topping the 1998 original's 30%.
Critics largely faulted the film as an overlong, 130-minute retread that revives the first movie's familiar beats without fixing the weaknesses that split reviewers three decades ago.
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock returned for the sequel, while the daughters were recast with Joey King and Maisie Williams; Evan Rachel Wood said production never contacted her.
Box-office forecasts still point to a $30 million-$40 million opening, with little major competition this weekend and a chance to unseat Spider-Man: Brand New Day after its $18 million frame.
