“Wicked: For Good” is flying to $150 million to $180 million from 4,000 North American theaters in its first weekend of release, a heroic start after a dismal fall at the box office. A debut on the higher end of that range would rank as the year’s biggest launch over April’s “A Minecraft Movie” ($162 million) and May’s “Lilo & Stitch” remake ($146 million). The big-budget musical is primed to shatter the debut of 2024’s “Wicked,” which set a record for stage-to-screen adaptations with $112.5 million over the same pre-Thanksgiving frame.
Universal, the studio behind “Wicked,” is offering an estimate of $125 million or more for the second installment.
