Wicked: For Good has grossed $393.3 million worldwide in its first nine days at the boxoffice, which allows it to move up to No. 5 on Billboard’s list of the top-grossing films that are adapted from Broadway musicals. Our list is drawn from boxofficemojo.com’s running tally of the 1,000 top-grossing films of all time in terms of worldwide grosses.
Both Wicked: for Good and its predecessor, 2024’s Wicked, were adapted from the 2003 Broadway musical Wicked. The first Wicked film opened on Nov. 22, 2024. In just five weeks, it pulled ahead of Mamma Mia! to become the top-grossing film adapted from a Broadway musical. Wicked received 10 Oscar nominations on Jan. 23, 2025, including nods for both of its stars, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. It won two awards at the Oscars ceremony on March 2
