“Wicked” is number 1 at the box office this weekend. But it’s not a smash hit.
Total weekend number came to $114 million, a lot less than you’d think it would get considering the hype.
Also, each day of release this weekend showed a decline.
That’s not a surprise. “Wicked” is for families and girls. It’s ultimately a confusing movie that serves its fan base from the Broadway musical. But does it register as a new movie? That seems unclear.
No matter, “Wicked” has picked up $50 million internationally. So that helps. A big lift will come during the holidays since we’re lacking holiday blockbusters.
“Gladiator II” also arrived with disappointing receipts, just $55 million for its opening weekend. This is a real Best Picture nominee, with Ridley Scott maybe directing his final film.
keep refreshing…
