As Frank Sinatra sang, It’s witchcraft.

“Practical Magic 2” landed a $30 mil opening weekend. Reviews are lukewarm, to say the least. But who can deny the power of movie stars?

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock may be two of the last of this species. Plus IYKYK, Dianne Wiest is so top notch. They worked hard for this number.

Also, don’t forget, there’s a pop hit right now called “Nicole Kidman’ by singer Adela.

All the potions worked.

Meantime, “The Odyssey” cracked the $600 million mark. It’s the highest grossing Universal movie in the studio’s history. Homer was seen celebrating at the Boom Boom Room last night with a bunch of females he called “suitors.”

“Coyote vs. Acme” at $47 million domestic, $61 million worldwide. Still have no idea who Ketchup Entertainment is, whether or not you have to tap on their logo to get the info. But the filmmakers must be hysterical at this point.

DOA “By Any Means.” Let’s not worry about it.

What happened to “The Fix”? Liam Neeson had a couple of people over, served them some Diet Coke, and charged 25 bucks. Wasn’t enough to report. Zachary Levi, full on Trumper, was not a draw after all. Surprise! In most theaters “The Fix” is playing during bathroom breaks for the clean up staff.

“Spider Man”? Still out there. $8 million weekend, $935 mil total. And yes, summer is over.
