After a four-month run in theatres, Wicked: For Good the sequel to the film based on the Broadway musical, is moving into digital streaming. The film's big-screen cycle will conclude with its release on JioHotstar in India on March 21, 2026.

What are the total global and regional box office earnings for Wicked: For Good?

Worldwide box office earnings for Wicked: For Good as of March 17, 2026, were around $527.8 million. The film's $342.9 million in North American box office receipts are a major contributor to its overall financial success. An additional $184.9 million came from international territories.

Wicked: Part One brought in $112.5 million in its opening weekend in 2024, but the sequel fared better, earning $147 million in the United States. It was highest opening weekend ever for a Broadway musical adaptation. On the other hand, with releases like Zootopia 2 and A Minecraft Movie in late 2025, the film faced stiff competition and saw a steeper 57% drop in its second week. The sequel did better than the first in the early going, but it couldn't match the original's $758.8 million worldwide.

Where does Wicked: For Good rank among top releases of 2025?

Even though the film's lifetime gross was lower than the first instalment, it was still one of Universal's biggest hits in 2025. To date, it has earned $3 million less than Jurassic World Rebirth in the US, putting it in a close race to become the highest-grossing domestic title for the studio in 2025.

The reception of Wicked: For Good in India was far less enthusiastic than in Western markets. On its opening Friday, the film grossed ₹25 lakh (0.25 crore), and at the end of the two days, it had earned ₹68 lakh. Experts believe that the film's limited success in India's mainstream IMAX and 4D theatres is to blame for the lower-than-expected numbers.

Which language options will be available for viewers on JioHotstar?

The film will be transitioned to JioHotstar after its theatrical run. Users will have the option to watch the movie with either the original English or Hindi dub, so it can reach more people.

The 120-day gap between a film's theatrical launch and its availability on subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services is typical in the industry, and this streaming release is no exception.

Who are the key cast members, and how did critics react to Wicked: For Good?

Featuring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, Wicked: For Good is directed by Jon M. Chu. Among the supporting cast members are Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, and Jeff Goldblum. The 138-minute running duration and pacing were noted by reviews as issues, while the production design and lead performances were praised. But audiences were still more upbeat.
