Wicked Achieves Major Box Office Success
The highly anticipated film adaptation of Wicked has reached an impressive milestone in its box office journey after more than a month in theaters. This 2024 movie, which boasts four Golden Globe nominations, draws inspiration from the acclaimed Broadway musical, itself based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel that explores the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.

Since its debut just before Thanksgiving, Wicked has rapidly ascended the box office ranks, crossing the $500 million mark globally. Notably, it has also surpassed the 1978 classic Grease to become the top-grossing Broadway musical adaptation in domestic box office history.
