Because The Wizard of Oz is a children's classic in the U.S.,
Wicked for Good, the second half of the origin story of Good Witch Glinda and Wicked Witch Elphaba, was expected to do well here.
With what looks like a $150 million opening weekend, it's doing very well.
But the story isn't as well known in other countries, so Wicked for Good, opening to more than $75 million overseas...
even with stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo doing extensive publicity tours, was not a given.
The first Wicked film made $758 million worldwide, so their combined box office will reach a billion dollars in the next few days.
