Both films confirmed that they will be released at the end of this year and their release dates coincided.
The first part of the film Wicked had more than one modification in its release date, and this meant that he now had to compete with the expected Gladiator 2.
The Broadway classic and a sequel to the historical drama will compete for audiences on their first day of release. A crossroads for some moviegoers, as both films are considered among the most anticipated of 2024.
In this way, the film billboard could once again experience the so-called “Barbenheimer”a phenomenon that occurred last year when Barbie and Openheimer They were released on the same day, a dispute that, despite all predictions, finally ended with both films being box office hits.
The clash of premieres between Wicked and Gladiator 2
Wicked It is a film based on the novel by Gregory Maguire and the Broadway musical, which has generated great expectations among fans of the musical and fantasy genre.
In addition, we will see the expected participation of Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo y Jonathan Bailey like its protagonists.
However, its release in theaters was scheduled for December of this year, a date that had to be changed to November 27 to avoid coinciding with the release of Mufasa: The Lion King.
However, the film directed by Jon M. Chu adjusted its opening on screens for the second time after colliding with the debut of Moana 2.
For this reason, Wicked was scheduled for the next November 22nd, date on which he was not saved either, since Gladiator 2 will premiere its sequel starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascalamong others.
In any case, the release of these films in cinemas will depend on each country, and may even arrive with a delay of up to one week.
