Wicked: For Good has passed a huge milestone after just one week in theaters. The movie, which adapts the second act of the Broadway musical about the origin of the Wicked Witch of the West, debuted on November 21.
The Wicked: For Good release started off with a bang, earning $147 million during its domestic debut and smashing the record for the best opening weekend for a Broadway musical adaptation. It beat the $112.5 million record set by the original Wicked movie in 2024.
Per Variety, Wicked: For Good grossed $12.6 million at the domestic box office on Thanksgiving. This pushes the movie's cumulative domestic box office total to $207.2 million at the end of its first full week in theaters, making it only the ninth movie of 2025 to cross the $200 million domestic milestone.
In a single week, 2025's Wicked: For Good has already dominated the majority of the major domestic releases of the year, including Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning ($197.4 million domestic), Thunderbolts* ($190.3 million), F1 The Movie ($189.5 million), The Conjuring: Last Rites ($177.7 million), and Weapons ($151.5 million).
