Is it going to be a mega hit, probably not as musical films tend not to be, especially when the amount of CGI is taken into consideration. But I think there’s a bunch of reasons people would see it...
It’s been on Broadway over 20 years, in London nearly as long and been all round the world. That’s a lot of people who’d want to see it out of nostalgia, or show their kids, or whatever, plus the current fans of the show.
Ariana Grande must have a decent sized fanbase to sell out arenas around the world.
Wizard of Oz genuinely is one of the cornerstones of American filmmaking. It gets referenced EVERYWHERE. It gets reinterpreted every few years, and they can’t all be flops or they wouldn’t keep doing them.
Then there’s the gays who’d be there even if it didn’t feature Jonny Bailey in tight trousers.
