Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo made their film Wicked really popular, and it is now set to achieve another remarkable feat at the worldwide box office. The musical fantasy has been in the news for its glorious achievements, including being the highest-grossing Broadway musical adaptation. It benefitted while there were two other big-budget films at the cinemas, and it was around the holidays. The film has slowed down now as it is approaching the end of its theatrical run and is also available online.
It is the first installment of the two-part adaptation, and the second film, Wicked: For Good, is already in the making and is expected to be released this year. The musical fantasy has been the talk of the town for a long time and for good reasons. It won the Golden Globe for its Cinematic and Box Office Achievement this year, and in addition to that, the movie received ten nominations at the 97th Academy Awards.
Wicked was made on a reported budget of $150 million and has grossed way more than that. It recently surpassed Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 2 and its $714.64 million global haul to become the fifth highest-grossing film of 2024. The film will add more to its worldwide collection once it is released in Japan in March. Meanwhile, Collider’s report states that the musical fantasy needs to beat Vin Diesel‘s F9: The Fast Saga to enter the 50 highest-grossing live-action movies of all time list.
