John M. Chu’s musical fantasy sequel Wicked: For Good is nearing the completion of its first month in theaters. The film currently holds a 68% critics’ score and an impressive 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. With a current worldwide total of $469.3 million, the sequel has already outperformed several major 2025 releases, including Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and Sinners (as per Box Office Mojo). It now ranks among the top fifteen highest-grossing films of the year and one of the 300 top-grossing films of all time.
As its theatrical run continues, Wicked: For Good has recently surpassed both Ridley Scott-directed Gladiator films, Gladiator (2000) and Gladiator II (2024), while also overtaking the global box office totals of Pretty Woman (1990), The Matrix (1999), Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), and Bumblebee (2018). The sequel is now closing in on the worldwide earnings of Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed action-adventure Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), the third installment in the iconic Indiana Jones franchise. Here’s a look at how much more Wicked: For Good needs to earn to surpass it at the global box office.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade – Box Office Summary
- Domestic: $197.2 million
- International: $277 million
- Worldwide: $474.2 million
As the figures show, the Wicked sequel is currently trailing the Harrison Ford-led classic by approximately $4.9 million in worldwide earnings. If it maintains its current momentum and, provided that the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash does not significantly impact theatrical footfalls, Wicked: For Good has a realistic chance of surpassing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade at the global box office before the end of its theatrical run. The final verdict should be clear in the coming weeks.
Wicked: For Good vs. Indiana Jones Franchise – Box Office Comparison
Here are the worldwide box office totals for all five films in the Indiana Jones franchise:
- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) – $390 million
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) – $333.1 million
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989): $474.2 million
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) – $786.6 million
- Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) – $384 million
As the figures indicate, Wicked: For Good is currently trailing The Last Crusade and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in worldwide earnings, while having already surpassed the global totals of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and Dial of Destiny. While it remains to be seen whether the sequel can overtake The Last Crusade, surpassing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’s worldwide haul now appears unlikely.
