After a blockbuster opening weekend, where the film dominated North American multiplexes and set new benchmarks for Broadway adaptations, Monday’s numbers offer a realistic picture of how the film sustains its strength as the week begins.
On Day 4, Wicked: For Good is estimated to have pulled in around $18–20 million domestically, keeping a solid hold from its prior weekend surge. The enchantment of Oz, combined with the star power of Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, is clearly drawing people out even after the initial rush.
The drop from Sunday’s peak is not steep but expected — Monday typically sees a decline, and for a musical sequel like this, much of the business is front-loaded around the weekend. Still, the fact that Wicked: For Good is managing close to $20 million on a Monday is a strong signal to studio and theater owners alike: it isn’t just a popcorn event, but a cultural moment that is continuing to attract audiences.
Internationally, the film also remains on a solid footing, although daily breakdowns for overseas markets are less transparent. With Wicked: For Good debuting to a global opening of $226 million, the Monday uptick — even though smaller than weekend numbers — contributes to a healthy cumulative tally and helps maintain the film’s box office momentum as it spreads through more regions.
The early weekday drop also offers a realistic baseline for forecasting its Week 1 total. If the film continues with similar drops — moderate declines on Tuesday through Thursday, followed by another bump during the next weekend — it’s well positioned for a very healthy first week.
Projections suggest it might end its first week with a domestic total of $185–200 million, depending on how well it holds up on weekdays and whether international territories sustain their pace.
