well, you were catastrophically wrong. it's virtually guaranteed to cross $700 million in the box office, and with the $70 million it's made in digital sales in its first week, it's in the green for both movies, with the second yet to be released. Very successful, and they'd be dumb to not expand the franchise further at this point.

All of the Wicked fans who predicted Barbie-esque numbers were wrong.

Moana 2 has grossed over a billion. Maybe Wicked 2 will reach the milestone.
