Wicked: For Good walked into the box office as if it owned the place and made itself at home without any hesitation.

Since then, it has been writing its own history while other movies politely stepped aside.

Wicked: For Good Box Office Performance: Smashing Records With $250 Million In 5 Days

In only 5 days, Wicked: For Good has pulled in more than $250 million worldwide (as per Box Office Mojo), as if collecting millions was part of its daily routine. This kind of speed shows clear signs that it will soon join the billion-dollar club and might even become the third movie of the year to do that. With a production budget of $150 million, it has already started celebrating its victory lap, sitting comfortably at number 17 among the top twenty highest-grossing films of the year worldwide. The race is still young, and this one has no intention of staying at 17 for long.
