The witches from the land of Oz are making waves at the movies. Wicked: For Good is on track to pull in a whopping $151 million in North America and $228 million worldwide. This is a huge deal because it's the biggest opening ever for a Broadway musical adaptation. The movie has already made $68. 7 million in its first few days, with $30. 8 million coming from early showings. Audiences love it, giving it an A rating on Cinemascore and a 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
This movie is the second part of a big-screen version of the famous Broadway musical and book about the witches of Oz. Ariana Grande plays Glinda the Good Witch, and Cynthia Erivo is Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. If the movie hits its target, it will break lots of records. It will be the biggest start ever for a Broadway musical adaptation, beating last year's Wicked, which made $112. 5 million. It will also be the third-biggest opening ever for a musical, behind The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast.
Globally, the movie will also set records. It will be the top launch ever for a Broadway adaptation and the fifth-biggest opening of all time for any musical. It will also be the fourth-biggest three-day opening of the year so far. This is great news for the movie industry, which has been struggling lately. The box office has seen a big drop because there haven't been enough movies for women and families. Wicked: For Good is proving that there is a huge audience for these kinds of films. Nearly 70 percent of the people who saw it on Friday were women.
The movie is a much-needed boost for the North American box office, which has been down due to a lack of films aimed at women and families. The success of Wicked: For Good shows that there is a strong demand for these types of movies. It's a reminder that women and girls are a powerful force at the box office. The movie's success is a win for everyone who loves a good story about witches and magic.
