Wicked Shifts Its Release Date & Sets Up A New Box Office Battle

This article is part of a directory: Wicked Movie: Release Date, Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know PreviousWicked Trailer Gets Shot-For-Shot LEGO Recreation Summary Wicked: Part One has changed its release date. The long-awaited movie adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande was originally set to release on Wednesday, November 27, which is the day before Thanksgiving and the same day that Disney's Moana 2 is slated to be released.

Why Wicked: Part One's Release Date Is Good News Wicked: Part One Has More Room To Flourish Close Getting to see Wicked five days earlier than anticipated automatically makes its new release good news. Beyond that, facing off against Gladiator II is likely a better scenario for Wicked than facing off against Moana 2.

With Wicked being seen as a movie aimed more at a female audience and Gladiator II being aimed at more of a male audience, there is potential to recreate a Barbenheimer phenomenon. Barbenheimer proved that the "boy movie" and the "girl movie" can do incredibly well simultaneously, with their concurrent releases actually helping with marketing and turning opening weekend into an event.
