‘Wicked’ Defies Gravity With Record November Monday Of $15M+, ‘Gladiator II’ Slays $5M+ – Box Office


'Wicked' posted a record Monday for November at box office with $15.6M, while 'Gladiator II' did $5.5M.

That’s the best Monday ever for November, better than Frozen II($12.7M, Nov. 25, 2019), better than The Hunger Games: Catching Fire($12.3M, Nov. 25, 2013), higher than Skyfall($11.3M, Nov. 12, 2012) and bigger than post-Covid’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever($11.1M, Nov. 14, 2022). The first media screening was held last night for Disney’s Moana 2, which was largely more kiddies than press, was met with great applause, not just at the end but after the musical numbers by Emily Bear and Abigail Barlow. All titles in release made north of $27M, so expect an even bigger Tuesday today with Moana 2 coming into the mix, but also the K-12 schools off rising to 83% and colleges to 62% before everyone is off on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday.
