Wicked Shatters Records! Gladiator II Falls Short?

This weekend, the box office was on fire! Universal’s Wicked smashed records with a $114M domestic opening—the biggest for a Broadway adaptation ever—while Gladiator II opened at $55.5M domestically, slightly below expectations. Globally, Wicked is set to hit $164.2M, while Gladiator II will reach $221M by weekend’s end. Analysts say this pre-Thanksgiving lineup appeals to all demographics and boosts the struggling box office. Is this the start of a holiday movie surge? #WickedMovie, #GladiatorII, #BoxOffice2024, #MovieMusicals, #BroadwayToHollywood, #MovieNews, #HolidayBoxOffice, #CinemaBuzz, #WealthyBusiness, #EntertainmentUpdates
