“Wicked” premiered on Broadway more than 20 years ago … but, it seems the team behind the film still found a way to shock diehard fans — ’cause people are posting vids of their friends losing their minds.
The biggest movie of the year opened in wide release in the U.S. Thursday night … and TikTok is already populating with fan reactions to the movie that’s leaving them awestruck.
No spoiler alert here BTW … ’cause it’s unclear exactly which scenes are making people react this way — though the movie is supposed to be a faithful adaptation of the musical, so if you know the show, you might not be as shocked as these viewers.
Lots of fist-pumping, hands over mouths and shocked laughter … so clearly, this moment’s bringing out visceral reactions in theatergoers.
The new movie is already super “Popular” … with the flick reportedly raking in $20 million in previews — with an expected three-day opening between $130 and $150 million.
Of course, even $150 million will be just a drop in the bucket when compared to the budget sunk into making the film and paying for the giant marketing campaign … though it’s a very good start.
Plus — with moments making audiences react like this — we’ve got a feeling the movie won’t have any trouble defying box office gravity!
