Wait, how much money has Wicked actually made so far then?!

Wicked has been out for almost two weeks now and it’s quickly become the most popular film of 2024.

The Wizard of Oz spin-off follows the story of two unlikely witch friends Elphaba and Glinda, but how much money has it made?!

Well, as revealed by Deadline, Wicked has raked in a staggering $385 million worldwide as of Sunday (1 December).

That makes it the fourth highest-grossing movie based on a Broadway musical, after Mamma Mia! ($611.2M), Les Miserables ($442.7M) and Grease ($396.2M).

It has also broken an incredible record in the US, becoming the highest-grossing movie based on a Broadway musical the country has ever had.

In its first week alone, Wicked made $214.3 million in America, which was expected to rise to $263 million by 1 December.

The film also broke a series of other records across the world in its first week.

It was the biggest global and domestic opening for a movie based on a Broadway show, beating Les Miserables ($103M) and Into the Woods ($31M).

Plus, Wicked was the biggest global and domestic opening for Ariana Grande and the biggest domestic opening ever for a pop star.

She beat Lady Gaga’s A Star Is Born ($42.5M), Harry Styles’ Don’t Worry Darling ($19.3M) and Britney Spears’ Crossroads ($14.5M) by miles.

However, Moana 2, which was released a week after Wicked, had even more impressive figures.

Disney’s animation shattered all expectations, raking in a massive $389M globally in its opening weekend alone.

That makes it the highest-ever opening weekend for an animation, overtaking the previous record held by The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($377M).

Of that, $221 million was from the US alone and  $165.3 million was from 48 other international markets.

Moana 2 had the second-highest opening weekend of the entire year so far, only losing out to Deadpool & Wolverine.
