$300,000,000 for Wicked Part One (2024) and Part Two (2025). Variety predicts it will dazzle. I suspect it will fizzle.

I agree with your prediction on this one.

Especially when the lady playing the wicked witch has been spreading cancer on Twitter.

Not exactly Rachel Ziegler levels of cancer, but it should be enough to put a musical nobody wanted to see in theaters in the red.


Also, as a 45 year male I can appreciate what people see in Ariana Grande. I wouldn't be taking any kids of mine to see her. I don't think they possibly could have chosen somebody worse for the roll of Dorothy.

There is no Dorothy! Ariana Grande is the Good Witch! Ariana Grande (who plays Galinda, aka Glinda the Good) and Cynthia Erivo (who plays Elphaba, aka the Wicked Witch of the West).

Ah. Okay...

Sorry. I'm not up on my Broadway musicals or the Extended Wizard of Oz Universe.

Quote:

Ariana Grande is perfect for the role because: "before Grande was a megafamous pop star, before she was even a breakout actress on a Nickelodeon television show, she was a theater kid. The “thank u, next” singer charmed in a local production of Annie at 8 years old, and landed her first big gig at 15, as an original cast member of the Broadway musical 13. Though she swiftly moved onto the screen (in the teen show Victorious) and up the charts (with a handful of high-selling albums), Grande remains known for her love of the stage, still managing to do projects like 2016’s Hairspray Live! She is also, famously, a mentee of Kristin Chenoweth, Broadway’s original Galinda, and has commented on Galinda being her dream role since she first saw Wicked as a tween. If Grande’s Broadway tenure and her musical legend of a mentor weren’t enough to prove her theater-kid bona fides, Grande has also shown a breadth of musical knowledge that only a true stan of the stage could possess."

---

Yeah... But this.

That's a particularly cute outfit she has on in the 3rd video. It's the same one my dominatrix wears while putting me up naked on the stretcher and stomping on my balls in between the whippings.

Half of the dads in that audience doing their best to think of baseball stats and war so they don't sport chubs with their daughters standing right next to them. Yanno... because they brought their daughters to a burlesque show.

I'm not a parent, but I know I wouldn't be taking my impressionable daughter to see anything Grande is involved with if I were.

Maybe the movie can be as lucrative as the Broadway musical:
In 2016, Wicked surpassed $1 billion in total Broadway revenue, joining The Phantom of the Opera and The Lion King as the only Broadway shows to do so.

You don't believe in their other excuses? merchandise, t-shirts, DVDs, streaming download subscriptions...anyways its not Marvel DC or Mario or 'Sonic' so I don't expect them to sell any toys.

That quote of mine is old news after I saw your article on Gladiator II. The only reason the International ratio was so high is because it had a full week head start and likely pulled in 85 to 90 million overseas before it made 50 million this weekend. I put that all in a post earlier.

That’s the best Monday ever for November, better than Frozen II ($12.7M on November 25, 2019), better than The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($12.3M, November 25, 2013), higher than Skyfall ($11.3M, November 12, 2012) and bigger than post-Covid’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ($11.1M, November 14, 2022). Wicked‘s domestic total shoots up to $128.1M through four days.

It's almost as if when the economy isn't shit, it doesn't matter that people can download it free and not pay their taxes to fund the Ukraine war or whatever other waste the Democrats and NeoCons want us to pay for.

They don't even sing in English for half the songs! It is wokeness gone rogue! Where are the light-skinned cartoon characters? Where are the voice talent who are white? The token white man is Alan Tudyk who voices the chicken, Heihei, in both Disney's Moana and Moana 2 and voiced Wash in Firefly. Making white men into chickens is woke and racist and misandrist. Misogynist (the wokest word in the world) is the equivalent word for someone who hates women.

Woke/Woke/Woke! And while I'm at it, why is today called Black Friday? Why isn't it White Friday?

It wasn’t that long ago that woke was just a word I used in the context of “waking up” after being asleep. Now the word woke has permeated our culture with various meanings, including believing in what are called “progressive” (actually anti-God) values.

Over the past couple of years, many organizations and companies have been described as becoming “woke,” which usually means they have greatly restricted or abolished freedom for those with a truly Christian worldview. And in recent times, we’ve seen considerable backlash against various companies because of their woke positions (which often result in pushing a transgender ideology, etc.). But really, the woke agenda is driven by a secular/anti-Christian worldview based on man’s word rather than God’s Word!

As I often remind people, believing in a literal Genesis 1–11 is the key to being “woke-proof,” as Genesis 1–11 is the foundation for marriage, gender, and, in fact, everything! I tell people that Answers in Genesis is a “non-woke” organization and our Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are “non-woke” attractions.

As the culture becomes more secular, woke, and permeated by moral relativism, Answers in Genesis and our two attractions exist like a beautiful oasis in a desert environment increasingly devoid of biblical truth.

Social justice mobs have a stronghold over major corporations that have submitted to the doctrine of wokeism, as cowardly CEOs parrot race-baiting, Marxist nonsense to avoid getting cancelled.

1. The symbolic act of "solving" an issue, done for instant gratification.
2. (Movies & TV) Using the most bland and/or stereotypical version of a minority in a Movie/TV; done to reach a wider demographic.
3. (derogatory) Used by mainly right-leaning people to villainize their opponents.
1. I can't believe Nancy Pelosi's answer to polic brutality was kneeling. This is wokeism at it's finest.
2. The wokeism of Hollywood is ruining films/TV as we know it.
3. These communist democrats are ruining our children with wokeism !!!

At this point it is clear you've entirely lost your mind and you have no idea what you are even going on about anymore.

This is what happens when you have no core values and are easily manipulated.

You are a lost little boy.

Poor little Billionaire Oprah is so lucky to have you white knighting for her.

$57,500,000 in the US on Wednesday night alone, with another $8.8 Million internationally for a total of $65.3 Million in 1 day to kick off a 4 day holiday weekend. If it's releasing everywhere internationally this weekend too, this thing is going to sail past a quarter of a billion by Sunday night without a problem. $300 Million + maybe? $400 Million +?
