    Between Wicked and Moana 2, this will likely be the first time we have two $100M openers back to back since July 2022 with Minions: The Rise of Gru and Thor: Love and Thunder.

  2. Universal marketing has done it again.

    They started promotion activities since early this year.

    Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo constantly appeared in so many events, even sending them, Jonathan Bailey and larger than life Frankie Grande to the Olympics. Ariana and Cynthia have appeared in many magazine cover as the duo from wicked.

    Universal marketing and distribution since COVID is just a class above anyone else.

    Even during the start of Covid, they were the first studio to quickly move back their movies.

    They were also the first one who made the deals with theaters chains.

    They’re super pragmatic and they are very smart.

    The fact they could push and hitch Oppenheimer onto Barbie was a stroke of genius.

  3. hi im an ariana fan so can someone explain how pre sales work? i hear in other cities it’s not selling out? how does one come to 100m prediction please. also doesn’t a film with a fan base means you have to wait to see if its front loaded?

    This is my Avengers Endgame. I used to take 1 hour subway rides to my chemistry tutor twice every week, and full Wicked album on my ipod was my only source of entertainment.

  5. Not shocked at all. The hype i’ve seen irl is unbelievable.

    I’m not even trying to sound mean… but do yall interact with many women? Because first it was Barbie and now this. The hype for both were absolutely unreal for months and nobody here even noticed.

    I’m so excited. I literally get a dopamine hit whenever I’m doing something and the Wicked movie trailer randomly pops up in my head. I need this movie in my life.

    Fan events are selling like candy; early screening all dressed in pink or green….so camp ‘n gay? this looks like Barbie 2.0?

  8. I swear I remember how this sub kept saying that this movie would bomb hard for like the past year.
