Following an explosive opening weekend and a strong first weekday, Day 6 — the second Wednesday — held firm, confirming that the audience interest sparked over the opening days has not waned.
Early estimates suggest that the film earned around $15–16 million domestically on Day 6. This represents a moderate drop from the first weekday’s numbers but is entirely in line with expectations for a large-scale musical of this kind. Weekday performance has always been the true test for tentpole releases, and Wicked: For Good is proving its ability to maintain steady traction.
If this pace continues through the rest of the workweek, the film is well on track to finish its first week with a total between $185–200 million, a milestone that would place it among the year’s top performers domestically
Overseas markets have also contributed to the growing global total, with strong performances in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia. While domestic numbers dominate early reporting, international audiences are proving equally enthusiastic, further cementing the film’s commercial impact.
Looking Ahead
Day 6 demonstrates that the momentum from the opening weekend is not merely a short-term spike but part of a larger, sustainable run. If the film continues to draw steady weekday audiences and experiences another boost over the second weekend, Wicked: For Good is poised to establish new benchmarks for musical films in the contemporary theatrical landscape.
While the opening weekend captured headlines with its spectacle and excitement, the real story lies in the consistent engagement seen on weekdays, such as Day 6. The audience is responding not just to hype, but to the film’s charm, music, and storytelling.
