Here’s how much money Wicked: For Good has made so far and if it’s beaten Wicked at the box office

by

The new movie Wicked: For Good had a fantastic opening weekend and is aiming to be as successful as the first Wicked film. The original movie earned an impressive $758.7 million worldwide last year, and theaters are hoping the sequel will perform just as well.

Although critics haven’t been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, Wicked: For Good is showing strong potential for a long and successful run in theaters, likely lasting through the holidays. Fans are clearly enjoying the film, giving it a near-perfect 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an ‘A’ grade from audiences in a CinemaScore poll – the same high score as the original Wicked movie.

The new movie Wicked: For Good has earned an impressive $226 million globally after just its opening weekend. Of that, $150 million came from theaters in the US, and another $76 million from international audiences. This raises the question: how does that compare to the original Wicked?

Okay, so I’m a huge musical fan, and the new Wicked movie just blew everyone away! It’s already broken records – records that the original Wicked set just last year! This movie had the biggest opening weekend ever for a movie based on a Broadway show, both here in the US and worldwide. The original movie made $112.5 million domestically and $162.5 million globally on opening weekend, but this new one totally smashed those numbers!

Even before it came out, Wicked: For Good was breaking records on Fandango, selling more pre-sale tickets than any other PG-rated movie ever. It quickly became the biggest movie pre-sale of the year in the US. Once released, it continued its success, earning $30.8 million in preview showings and $68.6 million on its opening day – both the highest totals of the year in the US.

While it had a very strong start, the film didn’t quite reach the top debut of the year, falling just behind A Minecraft Movie‘s $162.8 million opening weekend in the US. With $150 million earned during its opening, it’s still the second-highest opening ever for Universal Pictures, only behind Jurassic World‘s $208.8 million.

Now, the big question is whether the new movie Wicked: For Good can surpass the original Wicked as the highest-grossing film ever adapted from a Broadway musical. Wicked earned an impressive $758.7 million worldwide – almost $200 million more than the previous record holder, Mamma Mia! ($581.3 million). In the US alone, Wicked brought in $474.8 million, making it the most successful Broadway musical adaptation ever at the box office.

I’m really hoping Wicked: For Good does well for a while! It’s tough for sequels to keep up the momentum like the original Wicked did – people often rush to see them right away and then lose interest. But with Thanksgiving coming up in the US, I think it has a great chance to have another really strong weekend at the box office and keep the profits coming!
