Wicked: For Good Box Office Summary

• North America – $68.6 million
• International – $6.2 million

Total – $74.9 million

Wicked: For Good Projected Weekend Numbers

Made on a production budget of around $150 million, the film is already gliding toward that number from domestic earnings alone. Industry trackers are placing its opening weekend between $150 million and $165 million, a range that easily tops the $112.5 million opening earned by the 2024 hit Wicked. The idea that this sequel could match or surpass its entire production cost in just three days gives Hollywood something new to whisper about.

Besides, only 13 movies this year have managed to hit or cross the $150 million domestic mark across their full run. Wicked for Good is on track to accomplish that in the span of a single weekend. If it edges past $163 million by Sunday night, it will also take the crown for the biggest domestic opening weekend of the year, surpassing Jason Momoa’s A Minecraft Movie ($162.7 million).

A Strong Chance At Billion-Dollar Global Status

The earlier Wicked film opened with $46.2 million before climbing to $474.9 million domestically and $758.7 million globally. Now, with the sequel already topping that opening number, conversations are rising about whether Wicked for Good could join the billion-dollar club worldwide. Some even believe it may challenge Lilo & Stitch ($1.03 billion) for the title of highest global grosser of the year.

Wicked: For Good Holds A New Spot Among The Biggest Openings In History

The film has also secured the spot of the 28th highest weekend opening in domestic history and now ranks 7th for the biggest opening day domestically in the post-COVID era, sitting behind Spider-Man: No Way Home ($121.9 million), Deadpool & Wolverine ($96.1 million), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($90.7million), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ($84.2 million), Barbie ($70.5 million) and Thor: Love and Thunder ($69.5 million).

It has marched into the list of 2025’s top 30 domestic grossers as well, currently at number 28, right behind One Battle After Another. In doing so, it has already overtaken several major releases, including Ana De Armas’ Ballerina, Karate Kid Legends, The Naked Gun, Mickey 17, Regretting You, The Monkey, Materialists, and more.

The weekend is still unfolding, and the numbers are still rising, but one thing is already clear. Wicked: For Good is not just having a moment. It is making one hell of a run.
