This doesn’t compare to Mamma Mia at all.

You mean you don’t remember their paid sponsorship with 23 and Me?

Great news ahead of its Nov. 22 opening: Universal‘s feature take of stage musical Wicked has posted first day advance ticket sales on Fandango which rank as the retailer’s second best year-to-date behind Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine. As you know that Disney theatrical release posted a first day of $96.1M and 3-day of $211.4M. Wicked hits theaters the Friday before Thanksgiving.

At Universal Studios Hollywood theme park they just put up the various Wicked movie posters up at the guest entrance.  Plus the Wicked merchandise store is near opening on the upper lot too.  Can't wait to see what is going to be available.

If this is an indication of things to come, then Wicked might actually beat Mamma Mia! and Grease as a top box office winner when it comes to film adaptations of Broadway musicals. I hope that is the case, because Wicked is the much better musical of the three. As for the whole Wicked vs Gladiator II thing, just looking at my movie theater when it comes to ticket sales, Wicked is quickly getting sold and filling the seats whereas Gladiator II is struggling a bit. November 22nd and the Thanksgiving weekend after is going to be quite interesting, that's for sure.

Especially given that Moana 2 will be released during the latter weekend, and could make a (pun intended) splash.
