Nobody had Spider-Man losing the top spot this soon. For six straight weeks Spider-Man: Brand New Day led the North American box office, and this weekend a fantasy romance from 1998 got a sequel and took it away. Practical Magic 2 opened to an estimated $30 million, according to industry estimates released Sunday.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return in the sequel, joined by newer cast members Joey King, Lee Pace and Maisie Williams.
The web-slinger slips to second
Brand New Day took $8.4 million, Rentrak reported, to finish second. Its worldwide total stands above $2.45 billion, which makes it the third highest-grossing film of all time, behind 2009’s Avatar and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey was third with $7.4 million in its ninth weekend in theaters, bringing its worldwide gross past $1.68 billion.
