How much would Practical Magic 2 have to earn to beat Beetlejuice Beetlejuice?
Practical Magic 2 has a tough target to beat to surpass Beetlejuice 2 worldwide. It would have to earn more than $452 million worldwide to surpass the Jenna Ortega-starrer gothic horror comedy. Unlike Beetlejuice 2, Practical Magic 2’s predecessor was not a box office success, but over the years, its leading stars, Nicole and Sandra, have become two of the biggest Hollywood stars. Therefore, they have their own separate fan bases who are expected to turn up to theaters to show their love for the movie.
Practical Magic 2 has a strong star cast, and the nostalgia around it might help it emerge as a box-office winner and beat Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The female-led movies are doing well at the box office; for example, The Devil Wears Prada 2, which also returned after years, became a blockbuster; thus, Practical Magic 2 can be too.
