loveisdead9582 Posted October 9 Posted October 9 1 hour ago, KatyPrismSpirit said: I wonder if this movie will do well. Often movies with big mainstream stars attached tend to be rotten tomatoes poison but, alas. Rooting for Miss Ariana It should be fine. Hairspray did very well in theaters as have other musicals - so long as they're marketed as musicals. This is an adaptation of the play which is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz - one of the most beloved films of all time. I think it will do well as long as the effects are in point and they don't stray too far from the source material. Ariana is known as a vocalist and Cynthia has given fantastic performances beforehand as well.
Funhouse Posted October 9 Posted October 9 (edited) I'm so excited to get an official recording with the No One Mourns the Wicked opt up. Ariana better pull out the Thank Goodness high note too. Did they lower the key for Dancing Through Life? I wonder if they're also bringing back the Taye Diggs/Joey McIntyre As Long As Your Mine arrangement for Jonathan. Edited October 9 by Funhouse 1

Cynthia looks awkward and Ariana looks badly photoshopped in. is it an actual poster? to me it looks like they just wanted to recreate the original for fun/for the ticket drop promo. yes, it definitely is the worst "poster" so far but I also don't mind for that reason.

I hope so! If that's the case I wouldn't mind either. The other posters are amazing imo. 1

ariananext Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Critics and sales aside, as an Ariana stan I'm so excited to experience the roll-out and everything that's about to come. Countless looks, interviews, editorials, and for a while we're going to dive into a whole different fanbase experience 3

Folklore89sm Posted October 9 Posted October 9 I hope the film is good but I'm sorry that poster is horrendous. 1
Aristocrat Posted October 9 Posted October 9 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. 1
judasmonster Posted October 10 Posted October 10 there's already been some exclusive early screenings to wicked already and so far reviews are obsessed with the film and have praised every aspect of it 1
TOKYO. Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I think this will be thé smash of the year. Its so different 1
choerry Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I'm so excited to see this, and I'm going to try and make plans with friends to see this on an IMAX opening weekend. Luckily, I don't live in a coastal city so I can wait until it's closer to release without worries.
laqqinq Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Should I go see the musical? I think I'm gonna do that. Idk how will it affect my experience watching the movie. Or I should just go in directly for the movie and have that as my first judgement.
RussianRoulette Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Omg not Ariana showing FADs how musicals are actually made 2

AlbumOfTheYear Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I don't trust Industry push tbh. The real test is if the Wicked audiences and the GP rave about it. I want this to be good so I'm optimistic!
Digitalism Posted October 15 Posted October 15 These early reviews from industry people actually sometimes means the movie is not that good. So I would take it with a pintch of salt. The flash and joker 2 was great according to insiders.
getBusy Posted October 15 Posted October 15 (edited) If these are the same insiders who said that JokerFAD was great and that the way the songs were incorporated into the story was super smart… we're screwed Edited October 15 by getBusy
choerry Posted October 15 Posted October 15 The industry really needs a smash after FAD, so they might be hyping it up. I'm excited regardless; I love the original musical.
Tm4074 Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I take insiders with a grain of salt this early before release but there have been screenings for fans of the stage musical and for some influencers which have raved about it so that's promising. This is not comparable to Joker 2 in any capacity since Wicked is actually being made for its audience.
