It also benefited from some early fan screenings \u2014 that includes $2.5 million from Monday showings, $5.7 million from Wednesday advances and $11 million on Thursday. \u201cGladiator II\u201d made $6.5 million in Thursday previews. To compare to \u201cBarbenheimer\u201d last summer, \u201cBarbie\u201d made $22.3 million in Thursday previews, while \u201cOppenheimer\u201d brought in $10.5 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tDirector Jon M. Chu\u2019s film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, is expected to be one of the biggest opening weekends of the year. \u201cWicked\u201d is on track for $100 million to $110 million, with some estimates as high as $130 million. After months of TV spots, pink-and-green promotional items and Grande hosting \u201cSaturday Night Live,\u201d the \u201cWicked\u201d box office projections have grown steadily after initially coming in at the $80 million mark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe musical will have no trouble going down in history as the biggest debut for a Broadway adaptation, which currently belongs to 2014\u2019s \u201cInto the Woods\u201d with $31 million. Next year will see the second half of the story come to life when \u201cWicked Part 2\u201d arrives in theaters. Each movie cost $150 million to produce, so the massive opening will be singing an upbeat tune at the box office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tRidley Scott\u2019s \u201cGladiator II\u201d \u2014 the other half of the so-called \u201cGlicked\u201d \u2014 is projected to open with around $65 million. The sequel follows the events of Scott\u2019s hit 2000 ancient Roman epic and stars an A-list cast that includes Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, Connie Nielsen and more. With a budget of $250 million and approximately another $100 million to promote, \u201cGladiator II\u201d will need to slash away at the global box office to be a major success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/box-office\/box-office-wicked-gladiator-2-previews-thursday-1236217142\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like \u201cBarbie\u201d and \u201cOppenheimer\u201d combined last year for the box office juggernaut of \u201cBarbenheimer,\u201d Universal\u2019s musical \u201cWicked\u201d and Paramount\u2019s action epic \u201cGladiator II\u201d will try to create \u201cGlicked\u201d this &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=128966\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=128966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128966\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=128966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=128966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=128966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
