Hocus Pocus 2: Disney+ has earned a huge view from this series 

The witches in the tales have come back, and they are coming with a more dominating streaming force after letting them dormant for nearly 30 years. Disney, at last, resurrected the lovely 1993 film as ‘Hocus Pocus‘ provides a sequel three decades after the initial debut. Stating that Hocus Pocus 2 is a big success would be a pretty massive understatement. Not only has the long-awaited Hocus Pocus sequel been a lot for Disney+, but it has also been the most-watched film in streaming history. 

Deadline confirms that the most-watched Disney+ original film event. The show delivered 2.7 billion streaming minutes for the opening weekend, with the numbers only keep on to climb. Hocus Pocus 2 has been a solid behemoth. 

Not every actor from 1993’s Hocus Pocus came back for the sequel, but the three Sanderson Sisters definitely did this. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy all reprised their roles for Hocus Pocus 2. Doug Jones also returned to the franchise to play the undead Billy Butcherson. 

“When that call came, I was excited to get to do all of that again. I got to reunite with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, which was so dreamy,” Jones told Collider in a recent interview. “The difference between 30 years, of working with them, is that I was starstruck the first time. I was such a huge fan of Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, who had done The Kathy & Mo Show and Sister Act, at that time.

They were all huge, in my world. I was just like, ‘I can’t believe I’m on the same set with these people. Oh, my gosh!’ Coming back, you never lose your stars trucks, really, or I don’t. I was still like, ‘Oh, my gosh, there they are again.’ But now, with the 30 years that have passed, my career has gone places, and thankfully, I’ve been very blessed with what’s happened in my life, that they were treating me, and we were interacting more as peers.

That was a big difference that I noticed and was very happy about. We’re all 30 years older and have matured and come through a lot of life in that time, so there was a lot to chat about on set. It was really quite lovely.”
