by

Although critics gave Wicked a score of 72% on Rotten Tomatoes, fans have overwhelmingly shown their approval, making the movie much more popular with audiences.

I’m so excited about Wicked: For Good! It’s already showing in some theaters, and the response has been incredible. Everyone seems to be absolutely loving it, despite some critics calling the ending a little confusing or saying it doesn’t have quite as many huge songs as the first movie. Honestly, it sounds like it’s soaring above all the negativity, and I can’t wait to see it for myself!

After receiving over 2,500 audience reviews, the new movie Wicked: For Good is proving even more popular than the original Wicked. It currently has a 97% audience score, which is two percent higher than the 95% the first movie earned last year. This suggests that director Jon M. Chu and the cast have successfully delivered a film that audiences are loving.

Critics are raving about the movie, with some calling it “phenomenal” and saying it captures the true feeling of cinema. Many are already campaigning for Ariana Grande to win an Oscar. The film features new songs not included in the original musical, increasing its chances of awards success. Described as “epic and heartbreaking” or simply “masterful,” Wicked: For Good appears to be a box office hit that validates the decision to release the story in two parts.

‘Wicked: For Good’ Is Shattering Records


Universal Pictures

The movie Wicked was a major success in theaters, quickly earning back its massive $300 million production cost (which covered both Wicked and its sequel). Now that Wicked: For Good is out, it’s expected to earn at least another $758 million in the coming months.

The new movie Wicked: For Good is expected to earn $200 million worldwide when it opens, which would be $40 million more than the original Wicked film – another record for the series. Early ticket sales are already the biggest of the year on Fandango, making this success predictable. While the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash could change things, Wicked: For Good is currently enjoying a lot of positive attention and strong pre-release numbers.

The positive reactions from moviegoers to Wicked: For Good show that appealing to the audience is key for a film’s success. Although critics generally like the movie, the difference in scores between this film and the original suggests that those unfamiliar with the Wicked musical might not enjoy it as much. However, for fans of the musical, director Jon M. Chu seems to have delivered a film that exceeds expectations. Ultimately, it appears everyone can appreciate a little magic and wonder.
