‘Wicked’ Makes an Impressive Debut in Japan, Coming Closer to the $1-Billion Mark

After an amazing theatrical run and numerous awards, including a couple of Oscars, Wicked is now a certified hit and undoubtedly one of the most impressive movies of the year, regardless of what your personal preferences are. The cast and crew have done an amazing job and fans around the world cannot wait for the sequel to hit theaters!

And while the sequel is still some months away, Wicked is still in the midst of its successful theatrical run, as the movie recently made its final large debut – in Japan! The start was, as you might have guessed, very impressive!

We don’t have the details about why the movie was released in Japan just now, but with so much hype, it is not surprising that Japanese audiences have rushed to the theaters to see the movie, which brought a significant amount of cash to the film.

So far, the movie has managed to earn more than $730 million, which makes its theatrical run quite impressive, but the Japanese numbers reveal that more than $5 million can be added to the total result, as that is how much the movie has earned in Japan so far, which is great.

While the movie is unlikely to reach the famed $1-billion mark, these numbers still add up for an impressive box office run, and we are sure that the sequel will do even better once it comes out later this year!
