Wicked has achieved remarkable success at both the domestic and global box offices in its second weekend, setting several records and surpassing expectations.

Box Office Milestones

Record-Setting Thanksgiving: The film broke records over the Thanksgiving weekend, surpassing Grease to become the highest-grossing musical adaptation in US box office history.
Second-Largest November Weekend: With a weekend box office of $80 million, Wicked earned the second biggest three-day weekend for the month of November, which only comes after Moana 2, who was just released.
Largest Live-Action Thanksgiving: The film also marked the biggest Thanksgiving opening ever of a live-action film, toppling other huge franchises including Harry Potter and The Hunger Games.
Domestic Earnings:Wicked surpassed the $250 million benchmark in the US, accumulating $262.3 million in domestic earnings. The movie will likely outgross Twisters ($267.5 million) and might end up as Universal’s highest-grossing film of 2024. The movie will likely exceed $300 million next week. Projected to reach a domestic total of $420-$470 million.

Global Box Office: The film also performed remarkably well globally and raked in more than $350 million internationally. Its international gross stood at $96.8 million, which has made its worldwide gross at $359.2 million. Projections Going Forward: Wicked is estimated to make an international haul of between $670 million and $800 million. The rest of the money will come in from releases in China, Japan, France, and Germany.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s Success

Featuring music superstar Ariana Grande and Oscar-winning actress Cynthia Erivo in lead roles, this movie has been a thunderbolt success for audiences, taking the box office by storm both within the country and internationally. While Moana 2 is yet to capture the market, it is evident that *Wicked* is one of the top releases of this year as it continues to mint money.

As Wicked continues its box office journey, it is poised to set even more records, confirming its place as a major hit in the musical fantasy genre.
