Sources believe that projection is significantly higher now. The first Wicked opened to $112.5M stateside<\/a>, a record for a feature adaptation of a Broadway musical. Realize, though, that when it comes to a popular female-skewing movie, ticket sales can be front-loaded, hence not an exact predictor of a title\u2019s opening. The biggest PG opening ever at the domestic box office belongs to 2019\u2019s The Lion King from Disney, which debuted to $191.7M.<\/p>\n \u201cWith fans shattering records on Fandango when tickets first went on sale for\u00a0Wicked: For Good, it was clear that this electrifying finale to the worldwide sensation would soar to the same heights as the first film,\u201d said Jerramy Hainline, EVP of Fandango. \u201cAudiences are in for a true cinematic event as they return to Oz, experiencing it on the biggest screen possible as it was meant to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Deadline’s Newsletter<\/a>.
