How Much Money Did wicked make this Weekend?

Hello, kids! 🎉 This week’s movie math is all about big surprises at the box office! It’s snowing money in Hollywood, thanks to some super cool movies. Wicked, Gladiator 2, and Moana 2 are making people run to theaters during the holiday season. Let’s see how these movies are creating magic!

First, let’s talk about Wicked and Gladiator 2. These movies got people excited because they’re so different! Wicked has lots of singing and magical fun, while Gladiator 2 is all about epic battles. They both helped each other do better because families and friends went to see them together. Isn't that neat? 🎭⚔️

Then came Moana 2, which made everything even more exciting. Families couldn’t wait to see this sequel because they loved the first Moana movie so much. Did you know Moana 2 became super popular among kids and parents during Thanksgiving? It’s a family film that brought everyone to the theaters for some singing, laughter, and adventure! 🌊🌟

What’s also cool is how these movies worked as a team. People went to see one movie, and then they wanted to check out the others too. This new idea of grouping movies is helping Hollywood make more money and keep fans happy.

Here’s an interesting fact: while Moana 2 was loved by Latino and Black audiences, Wicked was super popular among Caucasian viewers. Even though they seemed so different, both movies proved that they could succeed together. Teamwork makes the dream work! 👫👫

Thanks to tese awesome movies, Hollywood is smashing records! Over 30 million tickets were sold during the holiday weekend. That’s like a big party at the theaters! 🎟️🎉 Moana 2 is likely to make $1 billion soon, and it’s all because people can’t get enough of these amazing adventures.

So, what’s next? Hollywood might keep using this grouping strategy to bring even more fun movies to us. Maybe your favorite movie will be part of the next big group! Keep an eye out for more magical stories coming to the big screen. 🍿✨

The movie Wicked is doing amazingly well! It only dropped 29% in its second weekend, which means a lot of people are watching it again and again. Some fans even think it would have done better if Moana 2 wasn’t out at the same time. But guess what? These movies help each other! Like when Barbie and Oppenheimer came out together, it made movie-going more fun for everyone.

Wicked still has to release in places like France, China, Germany, and Japan, where it could earn a lot. Did you know the first Frozen movie, which is based on Wicked, made $249 million in Japan alone? That’s huge! Now that Moana 2 isn’t competing as much, Wicked has time to shine before Snow White comes out.

Fans are also wondering if Wicked will win any big awards. There’s a good chance the stars, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, could get nominated—and maybe even win! That would be so exciting! But don’t believe rumors saying Universal spent $350 million on advertising. Most of that comes from partnerships with places like Target and Starbucks, where you can buy cool Wicked merchandise.

Meanwhile, Gladiator 2 is happy to join the fun. It’s not as talked about as Wicked or Moana 2, but it’s still doing okay in theaters. And looking ahead, movies like Paddington 3, Captain America: Brave New World, Mission Impossible, and Lilo and Stitch are all coming out in 2025. Everyone is wondering which films will create the next big movie moment!

Disney’s Moana 2 is breaking records and making fans happy everywhere! It’s the sequel to Disney’s most-streamed movie in 2023. People love Moana, and they were super excited to see her back on the big screen. Unlike some other Disney movies, Moana 2 stayed true to the original story, which made fans feel happy and comfortable.

Disney used clever tricks to make the movie a hit. They kept the review embargo until the last minute, so people would see the audience score first, which was much better than the critics’ scores. Families were also targeted with special ads that showed how fun the movie was for everyone. Did your family see any Moana 2 ads?

Another cool thing Disney did was use streaming platforms like Disney+ to make people love the characters even more. Fans couldn’t wait to see what happens next in Moana 2. The movie is also getting a lot of love from Latino and Black moviegoers, showing that everyone enjoys stories about diverse characters when they feel real and not forced.

Now, everyone’s asking, “Will there be a Moana 3?” Disney hasn’t said anything yet, but with all this success, it wouldn’t be a surprise!

Other studios are also trying to copy Disney’s magic. Universal has big plans for Super Mario Brothers 2, and Warner Brothers is ready to bring Minecraft to the big screen. These movies are targeting family audiences, just like Moana 2, and hoping to create another fun theater experience for everyone.
