- Quick Answer: Practical Magic 3 isn't officially in development, but star Sandra Bullock teased plans for a third film depending on Practical Magic 2's box office performance.
With Practical Magic 2 already in theaters, some fans are wondering whether a third movie is in the works.
Almost 30 years after the first film was released, the Owen sisters are back for the new sequel that continues their spellbinding adventure, with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman reprising their iconic roles. Considering that more Practical Magic novels have been published, there are questions about whether it will lead to more movie installments.
Is Practical Magic 3 Already in the Works?
As of this writing, Warner Bros. has not officially started developing a third Practical Magic movie or slated any plans before the sequel's theatrical release.
In an interview with Vanity Fair before the film was released, Sandra Bullock teased that they already had plans to do a third movie, but the likelihood will still depend on the box office performance.
"We’ll do a number three if this takes off, and we’ll pass the torch to the girls," he said.
The actress also teased that the next installment will likely expand the Owen family's lore, just like what the sequel did.
"If you haven't seen the first film, it doesn’t matter. But if you did see the first film, there are nostalgic reminders that we're still in the same place with the same people, and we're bringing on two more magical baby witches," she said.
Practical Magic 2 has already grossed an estimated $46 million worldwide out of a $75 million production budget, so there is still a possibility that it will have a decent box office performance by the end of its run, although its domestic opening is already considered softer than expected.
For now, fans should wait for news and updates, but it is important for them to support the film in theaters to show there is clamor for the third movie.
What Is Practical Magic 2 About?
Practical Magic 2 returns to a world steeped in moonlit mischief and powerful ancestral magic, as the Owens sisters must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all in a must-see cinematic event of fun, magic, and mayhem.
The installment is based on Alice Hoffman's 2021 novel The Book of Magic, the fourth entry in the Practical Magic book series. Susanne Bier serves as the director.
Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Dianne Wiest, and Stockard Channing are reprising their roles from the first movie. The new cast members who are joining the sequel are Joey King, Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod, and Maisie Williams.
The film is showing in theaters worldwide.
