Wicked: Part 1 | Thanksgiving 2024 | Jon M Chu to direct | Ariana Grande is Galinda. Cynthia Erivo is Elphaba

Against rules to post...but a leaked trailer is out there

Still think two parts could 100% sink this whole thing. One movie would have been a guaranteed smash provided they didn’t drastically alter things.

The version I saw was in a discord message so I can't really dm it but it is out there. There's a voice narrating over it that I think is the director so I think it's a featurette internally or for investors etc.

Is the title just “Wicked” now or is it still “Wicked: Part One”?

I imagine it's still Part One and Part Two, they filmed both at once and probs finished both.

So.

 

This and Moana 2 are the same day.

Which moves.

[Eric Loves Rey]

Universal has an untitled event film date for November 1. It's probably gonna go there and be the November kick-off movie.

Probably this. Disney always releases animated movie the day before Thanksgiving. My bet is it opts for another weekend in November.

Moana 2 won’t move. Regardless of how successful it ends up being for them, Thanksgiving weekend is always where they put their WDAS animation. Plus they already knew Wicked was there. Either Wicked moves or they duke it out.

I would assume Universal already realized Disney would likely have an animated film scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend, since they always release an animated movie around that date.

I would recommend December 13. Similar pre-holiday slot that Wonka opened to successfully, and it'd likely only be going up against the animated LotR movie, which targets a pretty different audience. Karate Kid is probably moving.

 

Only real competition would be the following week with Mufasa/Sonic 3, but one of those is surely vacating. With the holidays, it'd still have a long run regardless.

This was originally supposed to open on Christmas Day before moving up, so wouldn't be surprised if they move back to what has traditionally been a great date for Broadway adaptations (Les Miserables, Into the Woods) unless The Color Purple face-planting after its first day has them spooked (though this should easily have much broader appeal being a fantasy based on famous IP than that ended up having).

I just seen pictures of the sets for this film on twitter and it must have cost a fortune.
