Universal spent a collective $300 million to produce “Wicked” and its coming 2025 sequel, plus much more on an ambitious marketing campaign, but the investment has delivered a true theatrical event. Director Ridley Scott’s sequel to his Oscar best picture winner looks to pass $100 million domestic Saturday, one of 20 titles to notch that achievement this year.
