The Hollywood stars reunited in a rare joint appearance, reminding audiences of their iconic performances as Sally and Gillian Owens in Practical Magic. Their reunion comes as Warner Bros. builds momentum for Practical Magic 2, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters in September 2026.

Bullock and Kidman, who have remained close friends since filming the original movie nearly three decades ago, celebrated the film’s lasting legacy with smiles and warm interactions.
