Since its release on November 22, the film has broken box office records. It earned a record-breaking $15.8 million on the Monday following its weekend release for a musical, beating out Frozen 2‘s $12.7 million in 2019. It earned over $160 million in its opening weekend globally, the highest in history for any musical film’s opening weekend.
The second Wicked installment is due out Nov. 21, 2025. “We found that that room was necessary,” Chu previously explained to THR of splitting up the movie, noting he couldn’t fit the entire story into one feature film. “I think we found a beautiful balance in it.”
Erivo and Grande didn’t know one another before filming but had amazing on-screen chemistry that transitioned off the screen. “She came to my house, we sat, we chatted and talked,” Erivo said, per CBS News. “And we just talked about everything and nothing. We were there for ages, and it was very, very easy, so part of us kind of knew, ‘Oh, this might, this might work. We’ll be okay, and I think we’ll be able to get along with each other, and we’ll find it.’”
