It’s been five weeks since Wicked: For Good arrived in theaters, and the musical fantasy sequel continues to show impressive staying power at the box office. On its fifth Thursday, the film earned a strong $1.4 million in North America, a staggering 71.2% jump over the previous week, despite playing on 586 fewer screens. With its domestic total now standing at $326.4 million, the sequel is projected to finish its theatrical run in the $335–350 million range, provided its upcoming digital debut does not significantly impact audience footfall.
At the global box office, benefitting from the momentum of the holiday season, Wicked: For Good has collected $493.3 million worldwide and is now on track to cross the coveted $500 million global milestone. Along the way, the film has also begun closing the gap with three animated box-office heavyweights – How to Train Your Dragon (2010), Elemental (2023), and Toy Story 2 (1999). Below is a breakdown of how much more Wicked: For Good needs to earn to outgross each of these titles at the global box office.

Now, let’s take a look at the worldwide box office totals of the three animated blockbusters it is chasing:
- How to Train Your Dragon: $494.9 million
- Elemental: $496.4 million
- Toy Story 2: $497.4 million
Based on these figures, Wicked: For Good currently trails How to Train Your Dragon by approximately $1.6 million, Elemental by around $3.1 million, and Toy Story 2 by roughly $4.1 million in worldwide earnings. Given its current momentum and the ongoing holiday-season boost, the musical sequel is well-positioned to surpass all three animated hits within the next few days. A clearer picture of its final standing should emerge in the weeks ahead.
How Far Is It From The First Wicked Film?
At present, Wicked: For Good is still trailing behind the first Wicked film, which finished its global theatrical run with a strong $758.8 million worldwide gross (Box Office Mojo). This leaves the sequel needing an additional $265.5 million to overtake its predecessor – a benchmark that now appears to be out of reach given its current box-office trajectory and remaining theatrical window.
