"Fans are flocking to Wicked: For Good, but more than a few of them are a bit confused by one particular phrase repeated throughout the film: "In a clock tick." The first part of Jon M Chu's movie adaption of the hit Broadway stage musical opened this time last year to rave reviews before smashing box office records. The sequel, which focuses on the musical's darker second act, was released on Friday (21 November) and grossed $226 million (£173 million) worldwide during its opening weekend."
"In short, in Ozian language "in a clock tick" is a much the same as "in a second": as in, one tick of a clock's second hand."
Wicked: For Good opened Friday 21 November and grossed $226 million (£173 million) worldwide during its opening weekend. The sequel repeats the Ozian phrase "in a clock tick," which audiences interpret as equivalent to "in a second," meaning one tick of a clock's second hand. Viewers noted that the phrase's presence in the sequel but not the original film created confusion and prompted social media and Reddit discussion and speculation about foreshadowing. The phrase likely references the Clock of the Time Dragon from Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, a travelling puppet show with prophetic performances.
