Wicked has passed a major domestic milestone after more than a month in theaters. The 2024 movie, which was directed by Jon M. Chu, is adapted from the first act of the Wizard of Oz prequel stage musical of the same name and follows the friendship between Glinda (Ariana Grande-Butera) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), the future Wicked Witch of the West. The Wicked release kicked off the weekend before U.S. Thanksgiving, with its gross quickly rising to make it the highest-grossing Broadway musical adaptation of all time, surpassing Grease in North America and Mamma Mia! worldwide.
Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Wicked is projected to earn a 3-day domestic box office total of $10.2 million by the end of its seventh weekend. This will bring its cumulative domestic total to $450.7 million, making it the third movie of 2024 to pass the $450 million domestic milestone, behind Deadpool & Wolverine and Inside Out 2. It is also the 29th movie to ever pass that domestic box office milestone in history. This is the case even though the movie is already available for purchase and rental on at-home digital platforms as of December 31, 2024.
