How much did Practical Magic 2 earn from Thursday previews?

Practical Magic 2 earned $4.7 million from Thursday preview screenings. Those previews were included in the film’s reported $12.5 million first-day total in the United States and Canada.

Preview grosses come from screenings held before a film’s main opening day. Studios often schedule them on Thursday evening, allowing eager audiences to see a movie early while also generating an initial box-office signal before the full weekend.

For Practical Magic 2, the preview figure represented a significant share of first-day revenue. It did not, however, equal the complete domestic opening weekend, which was reported separately as $30 million.

The film’s launch was closely watched because it reunited Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as Sally and Gillian Owens. The sequel later added $16 million internationally during its opening weekend, taking its global debut to about $46 million.
