‘Wicked: For Good’ Trailer Launches to 113 Million Views in 24 Hours, Surpassing the First Film’s 75 Million (EXCLUSIVE)


Universal has reported the first trailer for 'Wicked: For Good' was viewed 113 million times in its first 24 hours.

The footage also features Glinda and Fiyero’s splashy wedding, those terrifying flying monkeys, as well as the iconic shot of Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion presenting themselves in front of the wonderful wizard. Before the trailer debuted online, the studio unveiled the footage on Wednesday at special one-night screenings of “Wicked,” which returned to more than 100 North American theaters in anticipation of the second film. Universal began to drum up excitement a day earlier, releasing a teaser on Instagram in collaboration with Elphaba and Glinda themselves, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, as well as Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero), Michelle Yeoh (Madame Morrible) and Jeff Goldblum (The Wizard of Oz).
