Based on the hit stage musical, Wicked has surpassed The Twilight Saga: Eclipse to become one of the 25 highest-grossing fantasy films of all time. The film, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, has earned $710 million globally and continues to perform strongly at the box office.
Already celebrating an impressive collection of 10 Oscar nominations, Wicked has reached another international box office milestone. Based on the smash hit stage musical and 1995 book of the same name, Wicked adapts the first act of the musical, which follows the rivalry and then friendship between Elphaba and Glinda .
What This Means For Wicked Wicked Continues Its Box Office Success Close While this may seem like a blow for Twilight fans, Breaking Dawn: Part 2 still sits comfortably at the list’s 19th spot. That aside, it’s possible Wicked fans, amidst their 10 Oscar nominations, might be feeling slightly disappointed as the film’s director, Jon M. Chu, was left out of this year’s nominees, with Emilia Pérez’s Jacques Audiard sliding into the list of nominees instead.
This box office milestone should be a friendly reminder to not be too caught up in accolades, as Wicked has proved to be a massive success for its cast and crew. By earning an already impressive number of nominations, a Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, and stellar reviews from critics and moviegoers, the film has proved that it could be of cinematic and cultural significance, which is further proved by its still-growing box office numbers.
