Part 3/9:
The numbers tell a damning story. Wicked for Good grossed nearly $31 million in previews — a figure that, astonishingly, surpasses the total earnings accumulated throughout the entire month of December. As of the latest reports, the film’s domestic box office hovers at approximately $302 million, with worldwide sales reaching $447 million, starkly contrasting with the original's record-breaking $750 million.
What makes these figures so alarming is that, even after twelve days into December, the total gross hardly edges beyond its preview night tally. This indicates an exponential decline in viewer interest, revealing that the initial excitement has completely evaporated.
