'HOCUS POCUS' Conjures Up Nearly $2 Million in Theatrical Re-Release for 30th Anniversary
Fans of Hocus Pocus ran a muck at the theaters this spooky season when the 1993 fan favorite film returned to theaters for its 30th Anniversary.
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures made the smart decision to bring Hocus Pocus back to theaters for its 30th anniversary this past weekend, and the movie managed to scare up enough money that it found itself in the #10 slot on the weekend’s domestic box office charts!
Decades after its original release, Hocus Pocus just made $1,609,874 in just 1,430 theaters here in the United States, proving audiences can’t get enough of the Sanderson sisters and neither can we.
Disney has also proven without a shadow of a doubt that Hocus Pocus 2 would’ve made a killing in theaters if it had been given a theatrical run last Halloween season, instead of going direct-to-Disney+. Perhaps Disney won’t make the same mistake when Hocus Pocus 3 comes around. Oh yes, Disney is no slouch when it comes to making sequels of its beloved franchises. Anne Fletcher is returning to direct the second sequel, we recently learned as well.
