"Wicked," which wowed audiences on its opening day, earned an impressive $46.7 million, setting the stage for what could be a huge weekend in box office revenue.
Despite high expectations, the combined earnings of "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" fell short of mirroring last year's "Barbenheimer" phenomenon, capturing the industry's attention.
With a production budget of $150 million, "Wicked" is primed to potentially reach $117 million in its opening weekend, positioning it among the year's biggest openings.
"Gladiator II" opened in second place with $22 million, showcasing the competitive cinematic landscape as studios release blockbusters targeting similar audiences.
