That’s quite early for a film like this even with it’s bad legs
It’s strange to see how bad it’s legs were compared to the first, even when looking at the reviews

That 70% post thanksgiving weekend drop was something else.
Crazy how people were predicting 500M+ domestic when that ended up being its worldwide gross 💀

It was interesting to see the 500+ predictions, but when it became unrealistic, the argument turned into “the second episode is darker, so it makes sense”-type of comments.

The original *Wicked* had the fourth best multiplier for a $100 million opener (4.22x), and spent 9 weeks on the Top 10.
*For Good* had very poor legs (2.33x) and left theaters after 10 weeks. You can tell Universal was still confident in its Oscar chances cause they expanded it to 853 theaters last week (for a pitiful 51% drop and $176 per-theater average).
It’s definitely successful, but Universal should really reconsider that *Oz* cinematic universe they’re planning.

Man I was so hopeful that this would be an improvement over Act 2 of the stage musical but nope they stuck with the original source material and it ended up haunting them in the long run 💀

the way this movie was basically dead by december in all areas, box office, awards, is truly something to behold. cost of splitting up something that didn’t need to be split up.

Versus Wicked’s $475M , a 28% drop from last year.
2.33x legs vs. Wicked’s 4.22x.
6th biggest domestic film of 2025 vs. 3rd place for Wicked in 2024.
Overall this is a big domestic haul, a lot of billion dollar films don’t make this much. But just a disappointing performance compared to last year, piss poor legs and no international support.

I was one of the most optimistic people, so this result is genuinely disappointing. Not going to lie, though, after seeing the movie myself, I’m not shocked. Still, I’m sure that splitting the musical in two parts was a great financial decision. One movie, even a good one (and considering the source material, the second half was always going to be a problem) would never be able to gross as much as Wicked Part 1 alone… Wicked For Good was basically free money at this point.

Given that both Acts were produced simultaneously and budgeted together as one thing, Wicked as a whole was still a profitable enterprise for Universal.
Definitely gonna miss those Cynthia/Ariana gif and meme materials.

I was expecting more frankly. Certainly a great result anyway.

still 342.9m more than it should’ve been, so nice profit for them
it’s not a second movie, it’s one movie split into two parts, and it’s pretty funny to see the reactions to the lack of nominations for awards
it was really underwhelming

I’m trying to see every major release this year. His movie is one of the reasons why I’m glad I didn’t start this last year.

Disappointing legs for Wicked For Good with the mediocre ratings with the 2nd act of the musical weak as the 1st, 2 forgettable new songs and the Oscars shout out for Wicked For Good

Obviously, this was below expectations, but the *Wicked* movies still made a shit ton of money collectively. I don’t think there will be another musical event like this for a long time.

I sincerely only know one person who liked this film. And I know *TONS* of girls who were deliriously in love with movie 1. I know anecdotes ain’t shit to go by but I really can’t fathom how it got an A cinemascore when it’s so disliked irl in my experience. And usually cinemascore dead on nails how people I know feel about a movie. Even something like Bone Temple where barely anybody I know saw it, the ones who did dug it even if they didn’t love the first. I even know someone who saw Greenland 2 and its B- Cinemascore matched what they said. But this? Didn’t match one reaction I know of irl. Even the girl in who liked it didn’t love it and her 10 year old kid disliked it lmfao.
