Lionsgate's Now You See Me 2 might need a trick up its sleeve to overtake Disney's The Jungle Book on the home video sales charts the week ending Sept. 11.

The sequel to the 2013 film about magicians performing heists for the sake of justice earned $65 million at U.S. theaters, about half the tally of the original.

Also looking to make a solid debut is Sony Pictures' Money Monster, which stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts and earned $41 million domestically.

On the rental chart, Now You See Me 2 shouldn't have any trouble taking the No. 1 spot, with Money Monster at No. 2.
