From ‘Wicked’ to ‘Moana 2,’ Musicals Are Taking Over the Box Office


It's been a very musical couple of weeks at the box office, with the release of Wicked followed by Moana 2. Listen to the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about how the two movies have dominated at the box office — with the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo-starring Wicked already becoming the highest-grossing Broadway musical film adaptation domestically in its week-plus in theaters — and how it compares to other recent musical-theater films. Casual pop fans and chart junkies can hear Billboard ’s executive digital director, West Coast, Katie Atkinson and Billboard ’s managing director, charts and data operations, Keith Caulfield every week on the podcast, which can be streamed on Billboard.com or downloaded in ApplePodcasts or your favorite podcast provider. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo attend the "Wicked: Part One" European Premiere at The Royal Festival Hall on November 18, 2024 in London, England.
