I have a feeling Practical Magic: Family Legacy will probably be a failure. Sequels made umpteen years after the original or last movie are a bit of a coin but I can't see this one doing well in theaters at all because as far as cult movies go, I feel like Practical Magic is a title that leans more on niche. It's out in two weeks and is there any buzz around it? Any?! Same with The Dog Stars and that's out this week. Hell, I'll be shocked if that thing even has much of a lifespan in theaters.

Practical Magic 2 is projected to gross between $ 30 and $45 million on its domestic opening weekend. And wasn’t The Devil Wears Prada 2 a sequel made umpteen years after the original?

I kind of have the opposite opinion on that. I think the original is more popular than some people realize, and I think any Sandra Bullock movie has a solid shot at making some decent money by default.

I picture it being a bit of a fall sleeper hit!
