Ariana Grande Butera as Glinda smiling in a crowd of Shiz students in Wicked
Wicked has broken an at-home viewership record. The movie is an adaptation of the stage musical opf the same name, which tells the origin story of The Wizard of Oz's Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba , and her friendship with Glinda , the future Good Witch of the North. The Wicked theatrical release kicked off the weekend before U.S.
Per Deadline, Wicked's at-home release, which kicked off on December 31, 2024, has earned $70 million during its first full week, which it kicked off by earning $26 million by the end of its debut day. This marks the largest first day ever and largest first week ever for a Universal at-home release. On its first day, it earned double the total of the previous record-holder, 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The movie's current price point is $30 for purchase and $20 for rental.
What This Means For Wicked Its At-Home Release Could Be Just As Successful With this record-breaking at-home debut, the Wicked movie has proven that it will not be slowing down any time soon. In fact, its at-home opening day earned 56% of what its theatrical opening day did at the domestic box office. Including Thursday previews, its gross on Friday, November 22, 2024, was $46.2 million, which shows that its purchase and rental revenue has nearly reached theatrical heights during its debut week.
Our Take On The New Wicked Viewership Record Wicked's At-Home Profits Could Be Tremendous It remains to be seen if the Wicked at-home release can grow at the same rate as its theatrical release. However, it could very well do so as its tenure in theaters begins to wind down, encouraging wider swaths of its audience to seek it out at home.
