This has very good WoM so it'll have legs, Joana or whatever her name is has bad WoM, expect it to start big then crash hard after

[Miss Anthropocene]

My 3rd watch tomorrow at a Screen X  I ******* love this film 

[Bhabylon]

The conservatives fuming about this movie, being like "I was a fan of the musical but I will not be watching!"

 

like the message of the show really went over their tiny brains huh

Them still complaining about Elphaba being "blackwashed" when the central message of the story is that she's treated differently due to the color of her skin  You can literally spell it out for them and they still don't get it, good Lord

[Funhouse]

Several black women have played Elphaba since Saycon Sengbloh made her debut in the role in 2005 mind you, and the stage production has ALWAYS had male characters in skirts and dresses

They are such liars lol. If the movie offends them the musical would have too. So transparent in being full of s***, they were never fans of the musical lmao.

I have many friends that want to go see this but the slots for this are terrible in my country omg  We literally could not decide on anything for this weekend nor the next.

 

I don't get it, especially since it's doing very well apparently in the US? For Friday there's only 3 slots at the most popular cinema nearby, whereas Moana has freaking 13. Not to mention, it's not playing in IMAX at all, only 2d or regular 3D (which I hate).

 

I might just go see it by myself on Saturday at noon in 2d. So disappointing 

[greeneyedsoul]

Just came back and wheew. It was great. Loved every minute, the ending was great. 

 

Can't wait for part 2.

[thatsmydemi]

Watching this tomorrow  so excited!

[robattack332]

Wow, glad to see the best picture conversation warming up. I've never seen the show before and thought it was just a comedy going in. Talk about wiplash! I thought my jaw fell off during Ari's opening.   Everyone involved in this was firing on all cylinders. Bravo 

 

And as someone who grew up on Wizard of Oz, I loved connecting all the references. They actually did it well without ever making it cheesy.

This is up from the $16.4MM estimate being tossed around earlier.

 

Wicked increased +5% from Monday despite Moana entering the box office fray.

Probably underestimated it's numbers in the US. But I still see it's total being around the numbers of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which did 300M in the US and 150M outside the US.

Maybe the fact that this is thanksgiving week, it will add another 50M in the US? could be. But I don't see it pass 350M US + 200M outside TBH

$400-450M is looking more likely for the domestic total. Your predictions are v. off.

[TheMusicProphet]

Holy Smokes!! What an incredible musical. ND I really don't care for musicals. Gooped!!!

[Julián]

That opening number was such a STATEMENT from Ariana. Just incredible. I've seen it twice already and would go again

'Wicked' finally crossed $200M at the WW boxoffice in less than a week. Also, it's the event of the year in the UK as...

 

As a longtime Arianator, I'm so proud of Ariana.

[Jude]

 

 

And then someone commented "something has changed within you"

[Migs30283]

Saw Wicked yesterday and it was amazing. Everything was perfection.

 

Ariana should win an Oscar next year. Period.

[Jude]

Apparently, Ariana growling "right" in popular was an improv. She posted a video on TikTok saying she didn't remember she did that line while being filmed.
