‘Wicked’ Now Playing in Kuwait Cinemas Following Fears Film Had Been Banned
Following 'Barbie,' 'Wicked' is the latest Hollywood movie to be banned in Kuwait, as local media speculate it's because of the LGBTQ cast.
Some local media have speculated that the decision was prompted by the fact that the Universal Pictures’ critically-acclaimed musical boasts an LGBTQ cast. “Wicked,” Jon M. Chu’s bigscreen version of Broadway’s spin on “The Wizard of Oz,” premiered in the U.S. and Canada last week, and grossed over over $114 million in its first two days in North America alone. The cast is completed by Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum and Peter Dinklage.
