The enchantment of "Practical Magic" is set to continue as its sequel, "Practical Magic 2," is scheduled for release in U.S. theaters on September 11, 2026. To achieve global box office success beyond the original 1998 film, the sequel faces a target of at least $94.4 million in worldwide earnings.
