  It’s probably not going to flop.

  Wicked is one of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time. There’s been a lot of marketing for this film, and on other non-Fediverse social media platforms there’s been a lot of buzz and genuine excitement for this.

  It’ll probably break even on the first film’s gross alone; Part Two’s gross will be pure profit.
