This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Amidst serious disappointment from recent box office releases, Wicked continues to thrive. In a week that saw Kraven the Hunter and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, the Spider-Man villain and the Tolkien adaptation could not surpass the latest Wizard of Oz musical. After a record-breaking opening weekend, which brought in over $160 million worldwide, Wicked has already surpassed its $145 million budget.

This weekend, it has seen even more success. According to a report by Variety, the musical adaptation crossed $524 million worldwide after earning $359 million domestically. It is now poised to pass both Kung Fu Panda and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which each earned $547.6 million and $571.1 million respectively.
