Jeffrey Karasarides said: "EDSOSLO858 said: "Now they have a few days to themselves beforeMoana 2sets out to dominate the box office."

Especially after Inside Out 2 proved that audiences will still go out to see a new Disney movie in theaters and not wait until it's on Disney+ at a later date. Now, Wicked is set to open up against Gladiator 2, which could be this year's Barbenheimer."

Wickiator! I’m all for it.

Unfortunately, Jon M. Chu is tweeting with the hashtag #Wickediator, when #Wickiator is clearly the better-sounding mashup.

They're smart to move it. Anecdotally, MOANA is seismic amongst people with young kids and is targeting almost the exact same audience as WICKED, with MUFASA right around the corner after that (opening at Christmas).
