Whatever spell conjured by the witchy Owens sisters, played onscreen by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in two “Practical Magic” movies, wasn’t powerful enough to lure audiences to theaters.

Despite a first-place finish, “Practical Magic 2” disappointed in its box office debut with $30 million from 4,146 North American theaters, arriving on the lower end of expectations. Overseas, the Warner Bros. fantasy sequel collected a dismal $16 million from 77 markets for a global weekend tally of $46 million.
