Wicked: For Good, the sequel to John M. Chu’s critically acclaimed musical fantasy Wicked (2024), is now in its fourth week in theaters. The film currently holds a 68% critics’ score and a far stronger 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. To date, it has collected $454.1 million at the worldwide box office, placing it among the top 15 highest-grossing films of 2025, just behind the year’s top-performing horror title, The Conjuring: Last Rites, as per Box Office Mojo.
For context, the first Wicked film concluded its global theatrical run with $758.8 million. This puts Wicked: For Good roughly $304.7 million behind its predecessor, a gap it is unlikely to close during its remaining theatrical window. However, the sequel has already cleared several notable box office milestones. For instance, it recently surpassed Steven Soderbergh’s star-studded heist flick Ocean’s Eleven, which earned $450.7 million worldwide, and is now closing in on the global total of Tom Cruise’s iconic spy action thriller, Mission: Impossible (1996). Here’s how much Wicked: For Good still needs to earn to outgross Mission: Impossible worldwide.
Wicked: For Good vs. Mission: Impossible – Box Office Comparison
Here’s how the two films performed at the global box office, according to Box Office Mojo data:
Wicked: For Good – Box Office Summary
- North America: $305.9 million
- International: $148.2 million
- Worldwide: $454.1 million
Mission: Impossible – Box Office Summary
- North America: $181 million
- International: $276.7 million
- Worldwide: $457.7 million
Based on these figures, the musical fantasy sequel is currently trailing the Tom Cruise-led spy actioner by just $3.6 million in global earnings. Given its ongoing theatrical run and current pace, Wicked: For Good is expected to surpass Mission: Impossible worldwide in the coming days. The final outcome should become clear as updated box office numbers roll in over the next few weeks.

How Far Is Wicked: For Good From Entering 2025’s Top 10?
To break into the list of the top ten highest-grossing films of 2025, the Wicked sequel would need to surpass the worldwide total of the latest Mission: Impossible installment, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. That film currently stands at $598.8 million globally. With Wicked: For Good currently sitting at $454.1 million worldwide, it would require an additional $144.7 million to cross that benchmark. Given its current box office momentum and stage in its ongoing theatrical run, reaching that figure now appears unlikely.
