Overview
- Practical Magic 2 opened to an estimated $30 million this weekend and is reported to have played in just over 4,000 theaters, knocking Spider‑Man: Brand New Day from first place.
- Spider‑Man fell to second with about $8.4 million for the weekend but remains commercially strong with a projected domestic total near $935 million, roughly $1.5 million shy of Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ unadjusted U.S. mark.
- Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has continued its run, passing about $601 million domestically and $1.68 billion worldwide, which industry tallies say makes it Universal’s highest‑grossing title to date.
- Other new and holdover releases showed mixed results: Runner opened around $6 million, Coyote vs. Acme earned roughly $6.2–6.3 million for the weekend, and The Uprising debuted weakly near $3.1 million.
- Exhibition dynamics — heavy presales, premium‑format and IMAX allocations, theater counts and weekday holds — have driven this weekend’s outcomes and are pressuring studios on sequel timing, talent back‑end deals and home‑release windows.
