- ‘Practical Magic 2’ opened top of the box office this weekend.

- ‘The Uprising’ landed with a thud in eighth place.
And so, after six straight weeks at the top of the box office and a host of records broken, ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ has finally ceded its #1 position, with ‘Practical Magic 2’ taking over the top spot.
The witchy sequel wasn’t as powerful as originally predicted, but made $30 million, with an additional $16 million overseas.
Spidey still secured second place via $8.4 million, and it remains just behind ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ as the second-highest-grossing all-time domestic title.
