Wicked: For Good Eyes $150 Million Opening as Previews Soar
Wicked: For Good is poised for a blockbuster debut with an anticipated $150M weekend after $30.8M previews, aiming to set a new Broadway adaptation record.
Wicked: For Good is tracking for a blockbuster domestic opening, with early projections at about $150 million for the weekend and possibly up to $180 million, following a robust run of previews that brought in $30.8 million this week. The movie, led by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, is the second part of the two-film adaptation of the 2003 Broadway musical Wicked. The first film opened with $112.5 million in its debut and went on to gross $474.6 million domestically, $281.4 million internationally, for a worldwide total of $756 million. If Wicked: For Good lands on the higher end of expectations, it would set a new record for the biggest opening weekend ever for a Broadway adaptation. On opening day, projections suggest about $68.5 million in the domestic market, with industry forecasts from Deadline and Variety placing the weekend total between $150 million and $180 million. The strong pace underscores the enduring appeal of the Wicked universe and the star power of its leads, positioning the sequel to push the ceiling for stage-to-screen adaptations and signaling a potentially record-setting box office run in 2025.
