"Wicked: For Good" cast its spell on the weekend box office — and conjured up a new record in the process.
Variety reports the film was so popular it raked in $150M from 4,115 North American theaters. That was more than enough to top the $112.5M earned by first installment "Wicked" last year, meaning "Wicked: For Good" now holds the box office record for Broadway adaptations.
The film had the second-biggest opening of the year (behind "A Minecraft Movie," with $162M, ahead of "Lilo & Stitch," with $146M).
On top of its North American haul, "Wicked: For Good" earned $76M internationally, another record for a Broadway adaptation.
Watch stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande tell "Extra" about shooting their duet "For Good" from the film:
