'Wicked' Buries 'Dune: Part Two' at Global Box Office Milestone In the Wake of 10 Oscar Nods

Despite earning several Oscar nominations a few days ago, Universal's Wicked didn't witness much of an uptick in box office numbers this weekend. Not that it should matter to the musical blockbuster, which has already generated a massive haul globally. This weekend, its 10th, Wicked passed Dune: Part Two to become one of the top five biggest hits of 2024. The movie is based on the major Broadway musical of the same name, which itself was based on Gregory Maguire's novel. The book, in turn, was inspired by L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz stories.
