If you look at the Mexico or NYC premiere pictures, there's like something like black ink, a little bit in the upper/top part of her ears, like inner side. I know this sounds creepy or gross but I promise its not in that way. Was just wondering if those are something like tattoo ink or by wearing something during promotions. It's a tattoo, she's had it for some years I believe Edited 13 hours ago by ariananext

laqqinq Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago (edited) 'Wicked' To Win Over The World With $165M-$200M Opening Spoiler Universal's female Jurassic World movie, if you will, the feature take of the Broadway musical Wicked, is expected to pull in any every single woman to the tune of a $125 million-$150 million domestic opening this weekend. Add in an extra $40M-$50M from its overseas launch. By every single woman we mean in the U.S., where pre-sales are through the roof; we're hearing that they're around $30M+. The movie is already holding previews, last night and Wednesday in premium theaters via an Amazon promotion, with regularly scheduled early screenings starting Thursday at 2 p.m. Last night's preview was strong enough business-wise to land Wicked a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Wicked will earn the best box office openings for director Jon M. Chu and stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Glicked is about to take effect at the box office. If anything, with Moana 2 coming on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, the holiday stretch from this Friday through the Sunday after Black Friday is expected to be the highest-grossing ever at the domestic box office for all films. "There's a little bit of a Barbie moment going on with Wicked in terms of pre-sales," one industry insider commented this morning. "They just keep going up and up with tracking numbers through the roof." Quorum reports that Wicked ranks as the firm's most highest-tracked title in its post-Covid run with 70% total awareness. While it was clear women were heading to Barbie and It Ends With Us leading up to their openings, what we saw was that it was more of turnout than ever imagined. As such, don't be shocked if there's repeat viewership this weekend for Wicked. Here in the states, Wicked will have more PLFs, while Gladiator II will have more Imax. Wicked is booked at 3,800 theaters, while Gladiator II is booked at 3,500. Gladiator II isn't all male; there are some women who will want to go watch Washington. As one tracking authority told us about both titles' crossover audiences, Wicked will pull in less men, while Gladiator II will pull in more women. Wicked will hit 61 overseas markets this weekend, beginning notably with Korea on Wednesday; followed by Australia, Brazil, Italy and Mexico on Thursday; and with Spain and the UK joining Friday. This will represent 65% of the offshore footprint — such majors easing on down the Yellow Brick Road later include France on December 4, China on December 6, Germany on December 12 and Japan on March 7, 2025. The top performers this session are expected to be a mix of the UK, Australia, and possibly Korea, whose audiences lean into musicals.

ctlp27 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I really enjoyed it. The two lead are wonderful and Cynthia def deserve her Oscar nom. She is EXCELLENT. It's 20 mn too long and drags in the middle but that last third act is everything and I was surprised it was where they chose to end. People immediately clapped because it's so energizing. Now can we talk about that awful bright glow?? Really?? So many shots are ruined by it I don't understand. Why have such beautiful costumes and decors and it's all tamed down or shadowed by that filter. Ugly.

Anytime I went to go whisper something he tried to touch lips or touch hands while eating popcorn. I should've gone by myself On top of that, he knew all the songs and he would sing them along. Like ***** I'm trying to hear Ariana Ya that's also why I wanna go first…. Bc my friends at times would ask questions or get annoyed lol. They aren't into musicals so I want to watch it and see the vibes. Unless he had Ari type vocals, he needs to shut up
Mystic Warrior Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago This was incredible. I really don't have any notes on this. The lighting wasn't an issue, it was bright and fantastical, just like Oz should be. I can't wait to watch this again. There are just so many tiny details to appreciate that I'm sure I was missing stuff the first time. Glad I got to see it in IMAX before Gladiator takes over the theater at my local. Eagerly looking forward to Part 2! 1
greento Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Does Defying Gravity sound good, because there was a clip where they sounded slightly off when harmonising? Is that an issue in the actual film?

She has a real potential. She may be our singing queen, but she deserves to act too. Her comedy is so good! But also the heartfelt scenes 😭

Cherish Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Yall, please go see this in IMAX or at least Dolby Cinema. Please, it's worth the extra pay. This movie is made for premium formats.
