Wicked and Gladiator 2 will face each other on the same date. Many straight men thinks that Gladiator 2 will be number one and many gay men thinks that Wicked will be number one. Both movies are expected to do well at the box office. But only one can be the winner at the box office. Which of these 2 movies will be number one? Place your bets. 💰🗡️ :emoji_popcorn:🧙‍♀️

Its so hard to tell tbh. It really could go either way.

It will depend on word of mouth tbh, but so far I think Wicked might have the upper hand.
  • Better ticket presales so far.
  • Smaller budget ($145m compared to Gladiators alleged budget range of $200-250m)
  • Probably a more devoted audience (Wicked is an insanely popular musical for many years)
  • Family market; so potentially more audience (it's rated PG compared to R rating for Gladiator)

It does have some things working against it though like
an insanely long runtime (2h40m)
and the fact that it is not the complete story (it's only part 1)

both of which might turn some people off. But as long as it's good and the music delivers, it could overcome those things and still be a hit.
 
Any chance Fiyero will have a shirtless scene?

P. S. Not to be that guy but we live in times when even Marvel and DC movies can flop so it's way too early to judge, but to break even the movie needs to make around $300-350 million (hopefully not more), otherwise, well, it'll bomb
