Previews on Thursday began at 2PM. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tBest previews for the year so far goes to Disney\/Marvel Studios\u2019 Fantastic Four: First Steps which did $24.4M. That was completely made from Thursday shows that began at 2 PM. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWicked\u2018s total previews a year ago were $19.2M. Broken out that was $11M from 2PM Thursday showtimes, $2.5M from Monday previews and $5.7M from Wednesday fan showtimes. Those previews repped 42% of Wicked\u2018s first day Friday of $46.2M which wove a spell for a $112.5M opening, the best ever for a movie based on a Broadway musical. Despite the notion that some are projecting a $175M+ weekend for Wicked: For Good, word to the wise is that the sequel could be frontloaded just like the last film which skewed 72% female with 57% between 18-34 in Screen Engine\/Comscore PostTrak exits. The more sober projection for the stateside start of the Jon M. Chu directed sequel is between $125M-$150M. The word is out already among the fans that Wicked: For Good is slightly better (or about the same) as Wicked with a Rotten Tomatoes Audience score that\u2019s 97% to last year\u2019s 95%. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWicked: For Good is bound to make most of its bank stateside just like the last one which saw 63% of its $758.4M global gross coming from U.S.\/Canada. The forecasted worldwide start for part two is well north of $200M+. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWhat\u2019s obviously expected for Wicked: For Good is that it\u2019s going to break a whole <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2024\/11\/wicked-box-office-records-1236186470\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">other round of opening records.<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sources tell us that Universal\u2019s Wicked: For Good Thursday night is coming in around $20M-$22M, and when you&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":394601,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[171,67,132,68,148123],"class_list":{"0":"post-394600","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wicked-for-good"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115587648302905840","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394600\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
