Wait, Jonathan Bailey is in this. Now I have to support this movie

I hope they up the rating in part 2 so I can see….. more of him…. 

[Femininomenon]

Yes, I'm super excited for this, I love seeing good musicals 

[Edu]

this is what happens when you advertise musicals as musicals

[Cruel Summer]

We WILL be firmly seated in that theater 

[Capris Groove]

Damn, that's impressive. Looks like Gaga should be auditioning for Wicked part 2 instead of Joker: Ménage à trois.

Most in-demand singer turned actress of our times. 

The fact that this has 7 likes when Ariana in actually an actress turned singer. Y'all ain't slick.

[Punky Rooster]

Ariana is a true movie star

Box office gold dust

[americanlife]

A certain person is shaking

[zuper]

Defying Gravity (Rain On Me Harlequin Version) (feat. Lady Gaga) is coming. 
 

Just a joke! I really hope the quality will be good. We need a new smash musical movie. The last good ones were Mamma Mia.

Well it's a popular IP, had a trailer at the Super Bowl and - most importantly - is advertised properly. Everyone knows what Wicked is and heterosexual men won't be flocking to see this so they'll be no complaints either. They have Gladiator II. 

 

And to think a movie like JFAD thought they could combine the two demos cleverly by NOT telling one of them what the genre was 

[V$.]

Waiting for the next update...

Quote

Wicked pre sales in NY and LA, in the theatres where I usually track, are having  a demand comparable to 'Deadpool and Wolverine' (DW) first few hours. It's shockingly high demand. It's really really impressive. It's too early to be sure of anything, but this is the one that can challenge  Inside Out 2 (IO2) place as this year second biggest domestic box office opening weekend.

However, something to keep in mind is that it'll also have lower ATP if compared to IO2 or DW, since both had all PLFs and IMAX screens, while Wicked will split them with Gladiator.

But I thought all musicals flopped 

 

[KennethPettyGang]

Not every MPG has the talent, singing capabilities, and raw acting skills to garnish such a massive presale 

 

Im sure this will debut at $400 million first weekend 

[halcyonday]

I guess musicals can be successful in 2024 after all

[Aristocrat]

Yeah, the whisper poster isn't great, but who cares?

 

Everything else has been incredible. The new teaser finally giving us more of the songs 

 

And pre-sale numbers are looking very promising. Can't believe how close this finally is. Got my tickets today.
