Comcast (CMCSK) (CMCSA) said that Universal Pictures’ film “Wicked” has crossed the $700M mark at the global box office. Of the total, $240.4M comes from the international box office, while $460.6M is generated domestically. This milestone was achieved even as the film transitioned to Premium VOD on Dec. 31, 2024 where it became the best first week Universal has seen for any theatrical title with a premium release at $70M in one week. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, “Wicked” ended 2024 as Universal’s second-highest-grossing film of the year globally. It also became the highest-grossing non-sequel of 2024 and claimed the title of the all-time top-grossing stage musical adaptation, surpassing Universal’s own “Mamma Mia!.” “Wicked: For Good,” the film’s second act opens in theaters a year after the original, on November 21, 2025.
