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

[Jude]

$500M domestic seems to be more likely now, but I'll be conservative with my guess for the final dom gross at $400M.

Wait, they're cooking something. Ariana might be actually submitted for Best Actress for Wicked Part 2.

She's getting what she deserves  I couldn't be more proud of her. 

The way the music industey wants to erase her Eternal Sunshine era but Ariana prevails rigjt away with talent.

The last film to be crowned best picture without winning director or screenplay was "Chicago" - right when the Iraq war was just starting.

 

Is Wicked going to follow Chicago path?

I watched it for the 2nd time with my family and they loved it. Cynthia deserves to win an Oscar.

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Watched it last week and still cannot stop thinking about it. Might watch again

 

Had no idea what the story was about, might've watched some James Franco movie about the wizard of oz years ago. Didn't even know there was a musical

 

Ariana and Cynthia both blew me away and Ariana proved to have a bright future in comedy genre.

 

Saw "Moana 2" yesterday and it SUCKS

[P!NK2LOVE]

I've seen it twice now and want to go a third. Do you know how rare that is for me? Omg it's INSANE. This movie is INSANE. My favourite of all time tbh, **** it I said it

[kimberly]

oh wow. this was phenomenal.

 

I'm not a theater kid and was skeptical of the 2h40m run time and the whole ~Part I~ thing. it did not feel long or dragged out AT ALL.

 

Ariana Grande is incredible here. stole every scene she was in. her comedic timing is really underrated. and I don't even need to mention vocals.

 

Cynthia gave a powerful performance as well, and got tears out of me in a couple moments. I practically WEPT during "Defying Gravity."

 

give them the Oscars, the Grammys, everything. they deserve it.

I saw it for a second time yesterday, this time in IMAX and it was an experience.  It was the first time I'd ever been to a cinema with applause at the end. I loved it! I'm seeing it again today  But this time with a friend who hasn't seen it yet. I can't wait to see her react to it in real-time.

Still can't get over how MAGICAL it was

It was a magical experience for me, too.

Good thing about Wicked is it doesn't have lots of screenings due to its movie length.

Many people have yet to see it. Good word of mouth will contribute to its longevity at box office. 

[Gorjesspazze9]

I loved it so much I'm going to see it again today! And I rarely see movies in theaters more then once unless it's a Marvel movie

 like that's when you know you got me. I gotta see that Ariana Popular sequence again. It was so girly and cute, but also a Bop

[Blue Monday]

Going again today and dragging my hag with me

I'd guess it'll be right around the $500M domestic mark and then $300M foreign. I expect Kraven, Sonic 3 and Mufasa to all underperform (granted an underperformance for Mufasa will still be $700M+ WW) which will hold space for Wicked at the theaters.

Girl, Wicked is fan-fiction about the Wizard of Oz, reimagining the stories of some of the main cast. The James Franco movie was based on the books, but not totally faithful. Oz was a series of like 40 books.

I saw it on a huge screen and people were cheering and clapping after the movie. I haven't been in a theater that excited since Endgame.

I finally saw it the other day and I absolutely loved it !!!

 

Spoiler

Cynthia's 'The Wizard and I' is my preferred version over the original now

I think being capacity restrained like this might actually be a good thing.  It might convince more people to go knowing the tickets are harder to get.  

[byzantium]

I think most of the songs on the film soundtrack are better than the Broadway recording.  No one mourns the wicket is definitely better and I prefer Cynthia's more youthful sounding the wizard and I.  
 

Idina's Defying gravity is still better but overall the film soundtrack > broadway recording.  

[Thuggin]

$600M WW seems all but guaranteed now  Possibly $700M range when all said and done

 

This could end up the first movie to make $500M domestic and not hit $1B worldwide
