“Wicked” defies box office gravity to debut as No. 1 film worldwide

Kiss my FAT GREEN ASS, Datalounge bitches!

FAFO when you hide my face!

I've seen the promo and all I can think during the dance number they show is "look at the fat girl, ha ha ha". The fat girl takes away all attention from the star and the other dancers.

R1: Fuck will never be free from her..

I will see it at some matinee and possibly be won over. But does anyone else hate this musical? The stars are unappealing and the songs are unmemorable.

The show sucked. Who would see this dreck?

Is her pussy still green?

R6- millions, obviously

I pirated it last night and I found Ariana's postmodern post surgeries AI face disturbing to distraction

Wicked did huge on Monday

Although it fell short of its projections due to its long runtime, it will probably easily catch up over the holidays

I hate the hyperbole every journalist use now. It’s an opening weekend. Just give us the numbers.

No one would click on the article if the number was in the headline already.

Is Cynthia's pussy still green?

Why won't Ariana get that wonk eye fixed?

Wicked just had the biggest Monday ever for a November release!

A POPULAR Phenomenon is born! #ArianaGrande & #CynthiaErivo keep defying gravity at US #BoxOffice!

INSANE hold, just a -49.5% drop from SUN, again almost unheard of for 100M+ openers.

Highest grossing MON EVER for NOV:

#1 Wicked

#2 Frozen2

#3 The Hunger Games Catching Fire

#4 Skyfall

#5 Black Panther Wakanda Forever

It's holding space

The strongest W-O-M that’s being generated from the film will see it go to $1 billion

Unfortunately, Cynthia Erivo's overly inflated EGO and sense of entitlement will only get bigger.

Her monstrous personality will be completely out of control!!!

She will become Datalounge's most hated Super Villain EVER!!!

Film expert Grace Randolph believes Ariana Grande will be in high demand for film roles following ‘Wicked’ success:

“Hollywood is now her oyster. She can do whatever she wants […] You better believe she’s going to be at the top of every studio’s wish list; every studio will be vying for her.”

“Wicked” officially scored BIGGEST weekend of 2024 in the UK, grossing £13.7M at the British #BoxOffice.

It beat “Deadpool & Wolverine”, which earned £12.6M.

Wonderful. A wonky eyed, anorexic, overly spray tanned leading lady.

This is what passes for a "Star" in 2024.

Hollywood's standards have dropped so low, it's laughable.

No wonder no one takes them seriously.

So will that septum piercing.

Look, the movie absolutely wonderful. Its entertainment, not brain surgery. Calling something crap is just your opinion...you thinking its crap doesnt make it crap. But when you do this without having seen it, you lose all credibility. Ive no real experience of Ariana Grande; i had low expectations but wow, I loved her. I said she'd get a Best supporting oscar win. .and when I think of the m9vie it's her that comes to my mind. Shes bloody good...funny too..and singing and dancing brilliantly. Why are the hate. Why????? I havebeen changed for good.

R21 = Miss Julia Roberts, super cunt

R23 is Frankie Grande.

The movie is CRAP and she's not a "Best Supporting Acterss."

She's a LEAD ACTRESS.

Dumb cunt!

I watched it just to see Jonny Bailey dancing through life.

I am oddly not in the least interested in seeing Wicked. I might have gone to see Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth but I was sick back then and a lot has happened since.

Plus I no longer consider driving to New York as "a Fun Road Trip!" I actually used to go into the city just for the hell of it, or would volunteer to drive if someone needed to go. I enjoyed it.

I've noticed that the people who've seen Wicked like it a lot more than the people who haven't.

Variety is now predicting Ariana Grande will win “Best Supporting Actress” at the Oscar’s for her role in Wicked.

How odd, considering that she's a LEAD ACTRESS.

What's the point of even having a category, if you can so BLATANTLY NOT PLAY BY THE RULES?

The city near me doesn't have any movie theaters anymore. They went bankrupt from COVID. I wait for movies to stream.

"Expert." Grace Randolph is an idiot who makes shit up.

I mean, it's so out of character for DL to dogpile on something popular sight unseen, particular when it stars a woman. Especially a woman of color.

I would never have predicted that.

I am keeping an open mins and really can't wait to see it but was waiting on opening week to pass because I'm hoping for smaller crowds on the holiday weekend when people travel. However I do find that Cynthia girl pretty insufferable and over the top. But I do think she is talented.

Looks like we know who's getting that fake "Box Office Winner" award at the Golden Globes in 2025.

You know, the award that stupid Barbie movie won last year (as a pity prize).

R40, be gone, before someone drops a house on you, too.

I don’t understand the appeal of musicals.

R38 Yeah but compare the ticket prices today with then and it's no surprise that a 2024 film would easily make more than one from 50 years ago. An article I just read says it will need to need $1 billion to beat Grease's adjusted for inflation record.

Wow that is a list of pure crap at r39
