Did Wicked and Gladiator II Just Trade Places in the Oscar Race?
Briefly

Wicked has triumphed at the box office, scoring over $114 million, breaking records for best opening weekend for a movie based on a Broadway show and third-biggest of 2024.
Gladiator II opened with a respectable $55 million, proving to be a strong contender for an R-rated sequel from a 24-year-old franchise, despite the absence of its original star.
The marketing efforts surrounding the shared weekend for Glicked were less effective than hoped, but both movies found success, suggesting a good outlook for their performance.
The draft for this season has closed, yet the Movies Fantasy League newsletter continues to provide updates on box-office performances, awards nominations, and movie chatter.
