- I loved the musical and have no desire to see the movie - but I probably will anyway. I love the Bridgerton dude that’s in it. -- nm - kelly Oct 16, 06:39 3
  - Same. I'm actually a little offended that they took a 2 1/2 show - which is setup quite nicely - and are stretching it into 2 films. nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 16, 06:43 2

From pre-sales: Wicked is gonna be a $100 million opening. Pretty surprising to me. -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 16, 05:35 19
- It comes across to me like Grande is doing a bit, and you think eventually her character will acknowledge it and do a turn to a normal voice, but no -- nm - Max Oct 16, 09:21
- It looks so bad to me. I like the show, but I expect the movie to be a hot mess. - Fuzzy Oct 16, 06:27
- I am bothered (and a bit concerned) they broke it into two movies though. Act 1 is where most of the good stuff is. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 05:57 2
  - Right? Are they gonna end movie 1 at the same place as the intermission in the show? (show spoils) nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 16, 07:23 1
    - They use the song in some of the commercials/trailers so I assume so. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 16, 08:09
- Do (Broadway) musical movies tend to be a little front-weighted due to Broadway fans? Could that impact pre-sales? -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 05:53 4
  - Yes, definitely, but less front loaded in sales than MCU films or a Taylor Swift concert film. - Inigo Oct 16, 06:05 2
    - Also, for something like The Color Purple... - Inigo Oct 16, 06:07 1
      - If any musical is going to break the Broadway to movie curse, this is certainly the one that would do it -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 06:09
  - On the flip side: It's based on Wizard of Oz. The book was popular. It's the second highest grossing musical of all time (behind Lion King) -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 16, 05:56
- Went to HSX to see if there were options yet. Venom has a $100M Call/Put level as well? - Volnelk Oct 16, 05:41 2
  - 2nd one delisted at HS$182 but it was a October 2021 release so Covid era. Still Deadline reported a projected £70m opening week for the 3rd one. -- nm - LMS Oct 16, 05:48
  - The second Venom opened to $90 million when box office was still recovering from the pandemic. - Inigo Oct 16, 05:46
- I think with Wicked you have a built in audience that knows and loves the story so it's a bit different than a new IP. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 05:39 5
  - I think the only "new" musical movies not based on established IP are the Disney animation films like Wish, but I might be misremembering. -- nm - Inigo Oct 16, 05:43 4
    - Good point. People have been quite unhappy lately with films being musicals though. Joker 2 being the most recent example though I'm not sure its failure -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 16, 05:49 3
      - My brother, who does not like musicals, was so excited about the 'Mean Girls remake' as he called it. I had to break it to him. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 06:12 1
        
        There were so many disappointed people. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 06:30
      - Yeah, I think Joker 2 suffered because a lot of the audience had moved on. - Inigo Oct 16, 06:09
Check my math please -- I have a 6-digit code...what are the odds that a code will have 4 of the same number in a row at some part of the code? - Will Hunting Oct 16, 05:05 4

- .01%, the same odds for any 4 specific numbers in sequence -- nm - rollo Oct 16, 05:43
- Probability sucks. (similar question here) - decline Oct 16, 05:42
