'Wicked: For Good' ranked No. 1 in pre-release bookings, and not only the domestic box office but also the global box office topped the list in the first weekend of its release.
According to the integrated computer network for movie theater tickets, 'Wicked: For Good' has surpassed 530,000 cumulative viewers until the first weekend of its release, continuing its box office run. It has not given up the top spot in the overall box office for five days since its release, surpassing the score of the first weekend of the release of the top foreign movie in 2025 'F1 The Movie' (482,499).
The global response to 'Wicked: For Good' is also explosive. After its release in North America, it topped the box office immediately after its release, and achieved high profits of $18468 (about 271.8 billion won) and more than $2260 (about 332.7 billion won) in global box office in North America until the 23rd, the weekend of its release. This is a performance that far exceeded the record of $12.5 million (about 165 billion won) and $164 million (about 230 billion won) globally in North America in the first week of last year's release.
These indicators demonstrate popularity and box office success beyond its predecessor, showing that 'Wicked: For Good' has definitely established itself as a film movie at the end of 2025. The larger scale, OST and visual spectacle that overwhelms the eyes and ears, authentic growth narratives featuring the friendship of Elphaba and Glinda, and dubbing versions involving top Korean musical actors have made a big splash, leading to the Nth viewing craze that enjoys both original and dubbing.
'Wicked: For Good' is a story about an evil witch who is no longer afraid of people's eyes and a good witch who is afraid of losing people's love, who finds true friendship in a mixed fate. Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Yang Ja-kyung, Jeff Goldbrum, Jonathan Bailey and Ethan Slater appeared, followed by director John Chu's megaphone.
