Those who had spread a blanket on the lawn of Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday evening were expecting a 1998 cult film and plenty of Midnight Margaritas. What nobody expected was that the Owens sisters would personally step in front of the screen at the cemetery.

But that's exactly what happened: Sandra Bullock (62) and Nicole Kidman (59) surprised the audience by introducing the film Practical Magic themselves at the event. "Thank you so much for coming out tonight. The perfect film to show at a cemetery," Bullock called out, accompanied by thunderous cheers from the audience.

Then came the line that summed up the evening: "We should also thank the ghosts floating around us, because you're sitting in their seats." Kidman meanwhile thanked the audience for the support that made the second part of the film, which will soon hit theaters, possible in the first place.

The Next Generation Arrives with Cocktail Glass

Bullock then announced the "next generation" of Owens women. Joey King and Maisie Williams strolled in front of the screen with margaritas in hand-they play Sally's (Bullock) grown daughters in the sequel. "To the coven," Kidman toasted with the audience.

"Maisie and I are so excited to join the coven as Kylie and Antonia," King said. "We really hope you enjoy the new film as much as we enjoyed making it." The Warner Bros. sequel opens in German theaters on September 10, directed by Susanne Bier.

A 300-Year-Old Curse

The plot picks up 28 years after the first film. Sally would rather bake cakes and gives men a wide berth, while Gillian (Kidman) is active on Tinder. But the 300-year-old family curse, which states that any man an Owens woman falls in love with will suffer an early and unnatural death, has now caught up with the next generation: it strikes Sally's daughter Kylie (King) and her partner.

Alongside newcomer Lee Pace, part two once again features Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest as aunts Frances and Jet.

Cult Cinema Among Gravestones

The screening was part of Cinespia's summer program, which has been showing films at Hollywood Forever Cemetery for 25 years. In August, the lineup includes "The Mummy," a double feature of Mia Goth's "X" and "Pearl," as well as "Labyrinth" for its 40th anniversary.
