Weekend Box Office: PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 Takes Away Top Spot From SPIDER-MAN

Weekend Box Office Practical Magic 2

After six weeks in first place at the box office, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" was taken down by the Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman fantasy rom-com sequel "Practical Magic 2". Meanwhile, the Spider-Man flick and Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" are still ahead of other Top 10 films, including new releases like the action thriller "Runner" starring Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson, the period action drama "The Uprising" starring Andrew Garfield and the Korean sci-fi thriller "Hope", which all underperformed.

Read more about the weekend box office after the jump.



The sequel "Practical Magic 2" topped the box office charts with $30 million from 4,146 theaters, which isn't much of an improvement over the original film's debut, which adjusted for inflation amounts to $26.9 million. Overseas, the sequel adds another $16 million for a worldwide total debut of $46 million. Unfortunately, the film has a hefty $75 million budget, which places its break-event point somewhere around $150 million, or more. Critics hated it (38% on Rotten Tomatoes), and the audience reception was lukewarm ("B+" CinemaScore).

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" ended its six-week #1 run and dropped to second place in its seventh weekend, raking in $8.4 million, down 53.7% from last week. The film has now grossed a total of $935.1 million domestically, and $1.5 billion internationally. The worldwide total is now at $2.45 billion.

"The Odyssey" also took a step back from #2 to #3 in its ninth week, and grossed another $7.5 million over the weekend, which is a 42% decline from the previous frame. The film's domestic total has reached $600.7 million, making it the 18th film ever to cross the milestone. Overseas it adds another $1.08 billion for a worldwide total of $1.68 billion, which means Nolan's epic is now Universal's highest-grossing movie of all time, surpassing "Jurassic World" ($1.67 billion).

Another new wide release, the action thriller "Runner" made its debut in fourth place with $6.4 million from 2,568 theaters. It's a terrible start, especially since the film cost around $45 million to produce. The critical reception was mixed-to-positive (73% on Rotten Tomatoes), and audiences mostly enjoyed it ("A-"), but I can't see word-of-mouth helping this movie break even.

The Top 5 is rounded out by "Coyote vs. Acme" with $6.1 million, down 48.6% from the previous weekend. The film is enjoying a surprisingly decent run, grossing a total of $47.6 million in North America, and another $17.3 million from overseas markets. That's a $65 million worldwide total, which means that Ketchup Entertainment has pretty much recouped its costs, which included $50 million to acquire the film from Warner Bros, and around $10 million in marketing.

Focus Features' "The Uprising" opened in eight place with $3.3 million from 2,068 screens. The movie only cost $20 million to produce but it looks like it's still going to flop. Both the critical and audience reception were mixed (55% on Rotten Tomatoes and "B-" CinemaScore).

In other news, Neon's release of the Palme d'Or nominated sci-fi thriller "Hope" finished the weekend in ninth place with $3.2 million, bringing its domestic total to $4.9 million since its release on September 9th.

Semi-wide releases that didn't make the Top 10 include the Oasis documentary "Don't Look Back in Anger" which opened with $1.3 million from 1,225 theaters, and the spy thriller "The Fix" starring Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson, which made its debut with $726,161 from 1,205 theaters.
