discussion Barbenheimer 2.0? Wicked and Gladiator II are set to be released on the same day

[Space Cowboy]

Both movies are being released on the same day and are seeing strong pre-sales (something that not everyone has).

 

A R-Rated male-oriented action movie VS Family friendly female-oriented musical

 

What movie do you think will be the more succesful? Are you planning a double feature?

 

[Hector]

Wicked as it'll have the benefit of families of all ages wanting to see it more. I do see Gladiator II being a big money maker and having big shoes to follow a Best Picture Oscar winner from 2000. 

[AmericanIdol]

I cannot stand musicals but if its well done I'll watch it, hope it's not HORRIBLE & PANNED like Lady Gaga's Joker 2 movie.

 

Gladiator 2 looks fun.

[Sawk]

Wicked TABS 

[GAGAxMONSTER]

I loved the original Gladiator and I plan to watch it the very first day. I have no idea about what Wicked is tbh and that green person I've been seeing with Ariana is not very enticing.

Wicked is the new Barbie

Wicked Arianators let's GO!

I think there's a big chance they both do horribly with the critics which would mean weak box office for both

Yeah, i don't trust Ridley Scott 

[Radical Pessimism]

The gay in me wants to see both movies for the music in Wicked and for the hot muscled men in Gladiator. It's a win-win situation.

I thought that the 'Five Nights At Freddy's" and Eras Tour were the Barbenheimer 2.0 tho  this is barbenheimer 3.0

Ridley is riding the wave of making 2 perfect movies 40 years ago. But ever since he has mostly be hit or miss with more misses than hits. 

[My Tears Ricochet]

I'm going for both

[X~MoviePoP]

I feel like wicked will have a 60% on Rt and gladiator will have a 65%

Yeah cuz I completely ****** up and lied 

[Johnny Jacobs]

Ridley lost his touch a while back so i don't think G2 would do well. 

 

I can see wicked doing well. It can also serve a cats 2019 situation. 

 

None will have huge success. So no. It's not even close to being Barbenheimer 2.0

Same.

[Miss Anthropocene]

I think wicked will be a huge hit 

[Mr. Duff]

Wicked may have good word of mouth, it's audience is much bigger since it's more family-friendly than R-rated Gladiator.

 

But I'm sure Gladiator will do well, personally I'm anticipating G2 more but that's probably my cup of tea. I've seen the Wicked musical in New York and I fell asleep, I'm not their target audience
