Every guest aged 18 or over will receive a complimentary glass of Prosecco as part of the experience—the perfect way to toast a brilliant night at the movies. Practical Magic 2 brings audiences back to the enchanting world of the Owens family more than 25 years after the original film became a cult favourite. Released in 1998, Practical Magic starred Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, descendants of a long line of witches cursed so that any man they fall in love with is doomed to die. Although the film received mixed reviews on release, it gradually built a devoted fanbase through television, streaming and word of mouth, becoming one of the most beloved witch-themed films ever made thanks to its unique blend of romance, fantasy, humour and female empowerment. The sequel reunites Bullock and Kidman, with both stars also serving as producers, and sees them return to the magical Owens family decades later as a new generation begins to discover the mysterious powers, and dangers, that run through their bloodline. So why a sequel now? In recent years the original film has experienced a huge resurgence in popularity, especially during the Halloween season where it has become something of an annual viewing tradition for many fans. That renewed interest, combined with Hollywood?s growing appetite for nostalgic legacy sequels, helped finally bring the long-discussed follow-up to life. The film is being directed by Susanne Bier, who previously worked with Sandra Bullock on the hit Netflix thriller Bird Box, and draws inspiration from author Alice Hoffman?s later novels set in the Owens universe, which expanded the family?s magical mythology far beyond the original story. With its mix of romance, witchcraft and sisterhood, Practical Magic 2 aims to recapture the charm that made the first film endure for a generation while introducing a new chapter in the spellbinding story of the Owens women.
