On 22nd November 2024, Wicked: Part One landed in cinemas, becoming an instant hit at the box office and making over $164.2 million worldwide within its first weekend.
The film is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, and is based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical of the same name Wicked, which is itself based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel.
Broadly, it chronicles the relationship between Glinda (The Good Witch of the South) and Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West), from their meeting at Shiz University to Elphaba's eventual downfall.
This adaptation stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda and Elphaba, respectively, with Jon M Chu – who previously helmed Crazy Rich Asians – taking the directorial duties.
A sequel for the film has already been confirmed for a November 2025 release, and will be titled Wicked: For Good.
