Part 3/5:
Transitioning to Wicked, directed by Jon M. Chu, the film has thus far earned nearly R$ 370 million. The reviewers appreciate the musical elements and strong performances, particularly from Ariana Grande. The film cleverly tackles empowerment themes, and the hosts feel it has a broader appeal, especially in the U.S., reflecting a strong cultural connection to Broadway productions.
Despite its successes, Wicked has faced challenges in terms of competition with other films. Interestingly, the hosts note that its marketing strategy drew comparisons to blockbuster titles, although its performance has generally surpassed Gladiador 2.
