As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast with a penchant for musical adaptations, I must say that the Wicked box office predictions have me thoroughly excited! Having witnessed the success of previous Broadway-to-film transitions like Into the Woods, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation for this cinematic rendition of Wicked. The ensemble cast, led by the talented Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, promises to bring these iconic characters to life in a way that will captivate audiences worldwide.
Predictions for the box office earnings of the upcoming musical film featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been released, and they suggest a huge financial triumph is on the horizon.
What are the Wicked box office numbers?
Based on initial estimates reported by Deadline, it’s anticipated that the movie Wicked will debut with a box office take of around $120 million. This impressive figure follows the film’s earnings of $19.2 million during its Thursday previews and additional screenings throughout the previous week.
If we add up the expected earnings for the remainder of this weekend, the musical Wicked looks likely to more than double the initial weekend earnings forecasted for Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II, which is projected to bring in a remarkable $61 million during its opening weekend.
If the figures stay as they are, Wicked would be among the top 10 highest domestic box office openings for November. The movie might even attempt to break the record for the largest opening for a film based on a Broadway musical, currently held by Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods ($31m). Furthermore, if the numbers remain consistent, Wicked will take the third spot for the biggest opening of 2024.
Jon M. Chu directs the movies adapting “Wicked,” with the screenplay penned by the original musical’s author, Winnie Holzman. The story originates from Gregory Maguire’s top-selling book and the award-winning Broadway production.
In this movie, Ariana Grande portrays Galinda Upland and Cynthia Erivo takes on the role of Elphaba Thropp. The rest of the talented cast includes Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero Tigelaar, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz, Peter Dinklage as Doctor Dillamond, Bowen Yang as Pfannee, Keala Settle as Miss Coddle, Marissa Bode as Nessarose Thropp, Bronwyn James as ShenShen, Ethan Slater as Boq, and others.
In this film, we delve into the untold tale of two witches from Oz: Elphaba, a young woman who’s often misjudged due to her unique green complexion and is yet to uncover her hidden strength; and Glinda, a popular lady born with privilege and ambition, but unaware of her true compassion. They first meet as students at Shiz University in the magical land of Oz and form an unexpected yet deep bond. After an encounter with The Wizard of Oz, their friendship faces a crucial juncture, leading their lives down distinct paths.
