Wicked<\/a> has been out for almost two weeks now and it’s quickly become the most popular film of 2024.<\/p>\n

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

Well, as revealed by Deadline<\/a>, Wicked has raked in a staggering $385 million worldwide as of Sunday (1 December).<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In its first week alone, Wicked made $214.3 million in America, which was expected to rise to $263 million by 1 December.<\/p>\n

The film also broke a series of other records<\/a> across the world in its first week.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

Plus, Wicked was the biggest global and domestic opening for Ariana Grande<\/a> and the biggest domestic opening ever for a pop star.<\/p>\n

She beat Lady Gaga’s A Star Is Born ($42.5M), Harry Styles’ Don\u2019t Worry Darling ($19.3M) and Britney Spears’ Crossroads ($14.5M) by miles.<\/p>\n

However, Moana 2, which was released a week after Wicked, had even more impressive figures.<\/p>\n

Disney’s animation shattered all expectations, raking in a massive $389M globally in its opening weekend alone.<\/p>\n

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

Of that, $221 million was from the US alone and \u00a0$165.3 million was from 48 other international markets.<\/p>\n

Moana 2 had the second-highest opening weekend of the entire year so far, only losing out to Deadpool & Wolverine.<\/p>\n

For more like this and for the latest memes, quizzes, updates and general pop culture chaos \u2013\u00a0like The Tab on Facebook<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
