Major Box Office Achievement for Wicked
The highly anticipated film Wicked has reached a significant domestic box office milestone following its release over a month ago. Directed by Jon M. Chu, this cinematic adaptation draws from the first act of the beloved stage musical, which serves as a prequel to the classic story of the Wizard of Oz. At the heart of the film lies the compelling friendship between Glinda, portrayed by Ariana Grande-Butera, and Elphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo, who is destined to become the notorious Wicked Witch of the West.
Impressive Box Office Performance
Since its debut the weekend preceding U.S. Thanksgiving, Wicked has rapidly ascended to become the highest-grossing Broadway musical film adaptation ever, outpacing previous record-holders like Grease in North America and Mamma Mia! globally. As reported by Deadline, by the conclusion of its seventh weekend, the film is on track to generate approximately $10.2 million over the three-day period, pushing its domestic total to an impressive $450.7 million.
Historic Box Office Milestone
This remarkable achievement marks Wicked as the third film of 2024 to exceed the $450 million mark at the domestic box office, following the successes of Deadpool & Wolverine and Inside Out 2. Additionally, it has become the 29th film in history to reach this notable milestone. This feat is particularly remarkable considering that the film is already accessible for purchase and digital rental as of December 31, 2024.
