Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are reprising their roles as the Owens sisters in "Practical Magic 2," more than two decades after they last shared the screen in "Practical Magic." The sequel returns to the mix of fantasy, romance, drama and comedy that defined the original film, this time centered on a new crisis that forces several generations of the Owens family to confront secrets tied to their past and the curse that has shaped their history.
"Practical Magic," released in 1998, followed two witch sisters navigating love, loss and the supernatural legacy passed down through their family. It became a cult favorite over the years for its blend of witchcraft and sisterly bond, setting up a devoted audience for a follow-up a quarter century later.
Practical Magic 2
Twenty-five years after the events of "Practical Magic," the Owens sisters must come together again when a threat connected to their family's history endangers a new generation. The conflict begins when Kylie, Sally's eldest daughter, discovers family secrets and begins developing her own powers, triggering a crisis tied to the curse that has followed the Owens women for generations.
The film is part of a wider slate of new releases this week aimed at very different audiences, spanning action, animation, satire and music documentary.
Mutiny
Jason Statham returns to the action genre with "Mutiny," playing Cole Reed, the head of security for a powerful billionaire industrialist. Reed's life changes completely when his employer is murdered in front of him, leaving him accused of the crime and forced to go on the run while trying to prove his innocence.
Statham has built his career on physical action roles across films including the "Transporter" and "Fast & Furious" franchises, making him a familiar face for audiences drawn to this kind of thriller.
One Piece: The Movie
"One Piece: The Movie" takes fans of Monkey D. Luffy back to one of his earliest adventures, before some of the larger storylines that turned "One Piece" into a global phenomenon. The film follows the search for the fortune of Woonan, a legendary pirate said to have once possessed a third of the world's gold before vanishing with his treasure.
"One Piece," created by Eiichiro Oda, began as a manga series and has since grown into one of the best-selling comic franchises in history, spawning an anime series, films and a live-action adaptation.
Animal Farm
A new animated adaptation of "Animal Farm" tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their owners in hopes of winning their freedom and building a fairer society. The revolution begins to curdle when the pigs seize power and establish a new form of authoritarian rule.
The film is directed by Andy Serkis and is based on George Orwell's 1945 novella of the same name, a satirical allegory long read as a critique of totalitarianism.
Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger
One of the most anticipated musical reunions of recent years reaches the screen with a documentary following Liam and Noel Gallagher during "Oasis Live '25," the tour that reunited Oasis after 15 years of estrangement between the brothers. The film also covers rehearsals for the tour.
Oasis, formed in Manchester, became one of the defining British rock bands of the 1990s, and the Gallagher brothers' long rift had made a reunion tour seem unlikely for years before it finally happened.
