movie Wicked (2024) | Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande | RT: 90% MC: 73

[toast]

People acting like this underperformed since it's only #3 of the year need to remember that parents with kids (inside out 2) + straight people (deadpool) outnumber the girls & gays.

Yeah I think people assumed that this movie's audience was gonna be children heavy for some reason? I don't know why I kept seeing so many people - especially film bros - calling it a kids movie  just because it's PG I guess. I didn't see a single kid in my Friday night showing. The audience for this was always gonna be adult women and gays. Kids don't know Wicked.

Haters still trying to find a way to spin this as a bad number

Sasha wasn't #1 in 2009, but she will do it for a second time next month with Mufasa

The gay bars have been all wicked all weekend, it is like christmas come early for the lgbt

I came in kinda skeptical based on the online clips, but the movie was great overall and I thought Ariana smashed it.

 

I did have one question while watching: 

 

Spoiler

If Morrible is aware of Elphaba's affinity for animals, why isn't more done to indoctrinate her into thinking talking animals are bad, and why is the first spell they try to get her to do in the Emerald City an act of animal cruelty?

 

 

[Jotham]

I actually like that there wasn't a post-credit scene, but this would've been such a slayage.

Spoiler

Btw did anyone else else literally JUMP in their seat when the monkey slammed against the window? I don't know why that got me so bad. I'm not even an easily startled person 

 

[Material Girl]

Kristen's appearance really showed how much more stage presence she has than Ariana. Even for just that brief scene.

Ariana's vocals were phenomenal but I was disappointed with her acting. Felt like I was watching Cat Valentine with blonde hair.

Girl I understand you have a reputation and have to keep your streak of terrible takes going, but cmon

Spoiler

Not sure about the first half of your question, but as for the spell, Elphaba isn't aware its going to be an act of animal cruelty. It was a levitation spell, which throughout the movie is what Madame Morrible is training her to do (to practice levitating the coin).

NOMTW is her best vocal performance ever, the fact that we say this every time she releases a new project is crazy  

[Funhouse]

Booking a ticket for a screening with an intermission so there are no mass bathroom break walkouts during Something Bad and/or A Sentimental Man

It essentially acts as a prequel of sorts to Wizard of Oz. Enjoy!
