The musical adaptation of Wicked has taken the digital world by storm, grossing over $70 million in just its first week of availability. This impressive figure surpasses even the studio's previous record-holder, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, highlighting the film's immense popularity. The success follows a stellar theatrical run, with Wicked earning over $682 million globally.
If you are one of the Ozians who found the decision to release Wicked on digital just 6 weeks after release so confusifying, it's fair to say you'll be looking as silly as a Munchkin in a ballroom with the news that the movie that can't help but defy gravity has grossed over $70 million. No, that's not the latest box office, that's revenue from digital rentals and sales alone since December 31.
The film’s digital success follows an already stellar theatrical run, with Wicked generating $682 million globally at the box office since its November 22 debut. While box office milestones are often celebrated, it's unusual yet quite welcome to see the transparency behind home releases like this, and should also convince some naysayers that having a movie available at home and in the multiplexes is not a box office killer.
The film works on an emotional level, and yet there are also well-delivered lessons about growing fascism that are tragically poignant in our American era. The set pieces are big and bold, and the dance numbers are creative and colorful. Grande is continually hilarious as the charmingly vapid Galinda, while Erivo is breathtakingly powerful as the so-called Wicked Witch. Both Grande and Erivo sound glorious through beautiful interpretations of modern musical classics like"Defying Gravity.
