Wicked: For Good has crossed $503.9 million in worldwide box office revenue within its first five weeks in cinemas. The film becomes the third screen adaptation of a Broadway musical to move beyond the $500 million level globally.
Continuation Of The Wicked Story
The film continues the screen adaptation of the stage production Wicked, which first opened on Broadway in 2003. It follows the earlier release Wicked, which arrived in cinemas in 2024 and later became the highest-grossing Broadway-based film adaptation overall.
Cast, Two-Part Structure, and Broadway Adaptations
Wicked: For Good features Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the lead roles. The production forms the second part of the two-film adaptation structure developed for the story.
Its box office total has positioned it behind only Wicked and Mamma Mia! among Broadway musical adaptations ranked by worldwide earnings.
The wider list of high-earning Broadway adaptations also includes Les Misérables, Grease, Chicago, Hairspray, and Into the Woods.
Earlier stage-to-screen adaptations, such as The Sound of Music, remain historically influential but fall outside current global ranking thresholds due to differences in ticket pricing eras.
