When Wicked came to the silver screen in November 2024, the blockbuster proved to be an instant smash-hit.

On a budget of $145 million, the film pulled in $755.9 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing entry in the Oz franchise and the fifth highest-grossing movie of the year - trailing behind Inside Out 2, Deadpool and Wolverine, Moana 2 and Despicable Me 4.

Wicked also dominated the 97th Academy Awards, and was put forward for 10 honours, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Cynthia Erivo and Best Supporting Actress for Ariana Grande.

The film left the ceremony with two accolades for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design.
