‘Wicked’ To Win Over The World With $165M-$200M Opening; ‘Gladiator 2’ Passing $100M Overseas Today With An Eye On $60M+ Stateside Weekend – Box Office Preview

Universal’s female Jurassic World movie if you will, the feature take of Broadway musical Wicked, is expected to pull in any every single woman to the tune of a $125M-$150M domestic opening. Add in an extra $40M-$50M overseas.

By every single woman, we mean stateside, in which pre-sales are through the roof. The movie is already holding previews: last night and Wednesday in premium theaters through an Amazon promotion with full-on previews starting Thursday at 2PM.

Meanwhile, Paramount’s Gladiator 2 touches stateside with a $60M+ opening forecast, which will be the biggest start for an R-rated movie in November, best ever for filmmaker Ridley Scott and star Denzel Washington. The ancient Rome sequel crossed the century mark at the overseas box office today after an $87M weekend.

Glicked is about to take effect at the box office.

Here in the states, Wicked will have more PLFs while Gladiator 2 will have more Imax.
