The sequel earned <b>$30.8 million<\/b> in previews\u2014the biggest pre-opening haul of <b>2025<\/b>. <b>Universal<\/b> is projecting a massive <b>$150 million<\/b> opening weekend domestically.

Chu<\/b>; rated <b>PG<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Runtime: <b>2 hours 17 minutes<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What Happened: Record-Breaking Preview Weekend<\/h2>\n<p><b>Wicked: For Good<\/b> absolutely dominated the box office before it officially opened. The musical sequel earned <b>$30.8 million<\/b> in preview screenings. This beat every preview total across all of <b>2025<\/b> so far.<\/p>\n<p>The film collected <b>$6.1 million<\/b> on Monday, <b>$6.5 million<\/b> on Wednesday, and <b>$18.2 million<\/b> on Thursday. That Thursday number shows serious momentum heading into the weekend. Fans rushed theaters early, proving the <b>Wicked<\/b> franchise still has serious power.<\/p>\n<p>According to multiple reports, <b>Wicked: For Good<\/b> is positioned for a historic opening. Box office analysts project <b>$150 million to $180 million<\/b> domestically. This would shatter the original film&#8217;s <b>$112.5 million<\/b> opening from last year. Plus, the international box office collected <b>$14.9 million<\/b> across the first two days.<\/p>\n<h2>Why This Matters: Box Office Muscle and Franchise Power<\/h2>\n<p>This preview success signals something major. Musicals don&#8217;t always draw crowds like action films. But <b>Wicked<\/b> has become unstoppable. The first film made <b>$759 million<\/b> worldwide and became the highest-grossing Broadway musical adaptation ever.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what gets interesting: fans are showing up bigger than before. The <b>$30.8 million<\/b> preview blows past the first film&#8217;s <b>$19.2 million<\/b> preview total. That&#8217;s a <b>60% jump<\/b>. It proves the fanbase grew after last year&#8217;s success. Plus, theaters pushed early screenings hard, and audiences delivered.<\/p>\n<p>For <b>Universal<\/b>, this means box office bragging rights. A <b>$150 million-plus<\/b> opening would cement <b>Wicked<\/b> as one of the biggest franchises in Hollywood. That matters when planning future projects and investments.<\/p>\n<h2>The Details: Cast, Runtime, and Theater Performance<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s break down what you need to know:<\/p>\n<table style='width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;margin: 15px 0'>\n<thead>\n<tr style='background-color: #f0f0f0'>\n<th style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: left'><b>Category<\/b><\/th>\n<th style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: left'><b>Details<\/b><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>Release Date<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Nov. 21, 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>Director<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Jon M.

Big opening-day numbers often signal strong weekend legs. And those <b>$18.2 million<\/b> Thursday previews suggest weekend momentum will be serious.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ariana Grande<\/b> returns as <b>Glinda<\/b>, while <b>Cynthia Erivo<\/b> plays <b>Elphaba<\/b>. The two leads have become synonymous with these roles. Plus, <b>Jonathan Bailey<\/b>, <b>Jeff Goldblum<\/b>, and <b>Michelle Yeoh<\/b> round out the cast. Early reviews praise the performances, even when critiquing other elements.<\/p>\n<h2>What To Watch For: Box Office Dominance Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Several things suggest <b>Wicked: For Good<\/b> could have massive staying power:<\/p>\n<ul style='margin: 15px 0;padding-left: 20px'>\n<li>Strong preview-to-opening conversion rates for musicals historically track high<\/li>\n<li>The film&#8217;s <b>2hr 17min<\/b> runtime is manageable for repeat viewings<\/li>\n<li>Thanksgiving holiday weekend extends exhibition window through <b>Nov. 27<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>IMAX<\/b> and premium format screenings drive higher per-theater averages<\/li>\n<li>Double-feature packages (showing both films back-to-back) add ticket sales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One thing to monitor: <b>Moana 2<\/b> arrives on <b>Nov. 27<\/b> and could split family audiences. But both films target different demographics enough that coexistence is possible. Plus, <b>Wicked<\/b> has younger viewers, teens, and adults\u2014a wide range.<\/p>\n<h2>Can This Sequel Top the Original on Broadway?<\/h2>\n<p><b>Wicked: For Good<\/b> faces just one real challenge: expectations. The first film became a cultural phenomenon. It made <b>$759 million<\/b> globally and dominated the conversation for months. The sequel had to prove it deserved existence.<\/p>\n<p>The preview numbers answer that. Fans want more of these witches&#8217; story. Plus, <b>Jon M. Chu<\/b> included two new songs not in the original Broadway show. That gives audiences fresh material. And the film tackles the second act&#8217;s darker themes\u2014consequences of the first film&#8217;s events.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the film on the <b>official Wicked site<\/b> or at any major theater showing it on <b>Nov. 21<\/b>. <b>IMAX<\/b> screenings offer expanded visuals for the musical numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Deadline<\/b> &#8211; Box office reporting and preview numbers<\/li>\n<li><b>Variety<\/b> &#8211; Opening weekend projections and industry analysis<\/li>\n<li><b>Hollywood Reporter<\/b> &#8211; Cast information and box office forecasts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":17208,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Cynthia Erivo\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/gIAXqZwZCBqkh2ppfAV4xcnMxki.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1765068\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Ariana Grande\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/ojr2zF46BmPe7EALds7WQf6Ro4O.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/226001\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jon M.
