The opening weekend box office predictions for Wicked: For Good are looking very good.
Universal Pictures’ Wicked: For Good arrives in United States theaters next month. A sequel to 2024’s Wicked and an adaptation of the second act of the popular Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, the film is directed by Jon M. Chu and sees Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo reprise their respective roles as Glinda Upland and Elphaba Thropp.
How much is Wicked: For Good predicted to make at the box office during its opening weekend?
Per Deadline, Wicked: For Good is currently tracking to make north of $100 million — around the $112-115 million range — during its opening weekend.Â
The first Wicked movie made around the same amount, $112.5 million in the United States and Canada, during its opening weekend; however, it also faced some tough competition, as it was released on the same day as Gladiator 2, and Moana 2 then followed a few days later.
While Wicked: For Good will have to face Zootopia 2 when that arrives on November 26, it won’t have too much competition during its opening weekend, as the only other movies going nationwide are Sisu: Road to Revenge and Rental Family. This means that those box office projections could wind up increasing as the release date gets closer and closer.
If Wicked: For Good does hit the $115 million mark, that would make it the fifth highest-grossing opening weekend of 2025 behind A Minecraft Movie ($162.6 million), Lilo $ Stitch ($146 million), Superman ($125 million), and The Fantastic Four: First Steps ($117.6 million). Having said that, Jurassic World Rebirth opened on a Wednesday and made $147.8 million over the five-day weekend ($92 million over the three-day weekend).
Wicked: For Good arrives in United States theaters on November 21, 2025.
