Wicked's re-release comes just a year after its initial theatrical debut, which saw the film collect over $112.5 million on its opening weekend in North America. This remarkable achievement has helped the musical fantasy edge closer to the domestic haul of the beloved animated film Frozen 2, which currently stands at $477.3 million.
