"The second installment of Elphaba's villain origin story came in at number 2 at the box office, behind Zootopia 2. That was expected, although just how well Z2 is doing internationally (especially in China) surpassed prognosticators predictions. But what all good Ozians want to know is if Wicked: For Good is tracking to surpass the b.o. of Wicked. It's a tall order, as Wicked eventually passed Mamma Mia!to enter the top 5 highest grossing musicals ever filmed."
"Wicked: For Good flew over its prequel opening weekend. It raked in $143 million domestically, compared to Wicked's $112 million opening last year. But the second week drop off was steep. For Good brought in $93 million over the long Thanksgiving weekend domestically. That's slightly down from Wicked's $118 million in its second week. Wicked 1 actually had a better second weekend than first. Internationally, For Good brought in another $29.4 million this weekend, for a global total of $393.3 million after 10 days."
Wicked: For Good opened with $143 million domestically, surpassing Wicked's $112 million opening. The film declined to $93 million over the long Thanksgiving weekend, below Wicked's $118 million second-week tally. Wicked 1 recorded a stronger second weekend than its opening. International receipts contributed $29.4 million this weekend, producing a global total of $393.3 million after 10 days. Zootopia 2 holds the top box office position and is performing especially well in China. Wicked: For Good retains time to close the gap with Wicked’s $759 million final gross, but upcoming releases could hinder momentum.
