After causing a stir at the box office following its November release, Wicked is now available for online streaming, allowing fans to experience the magic from their own homes.
Despite being shown in select UK cinemas, Universal has also launched it on digital platforms in both the UK and US.
In the UK, viewers can currently purchase or rent Wicked from Prime Video, iTunes, Microsoft Store and other digital retailers. Fans can also pre-order the film on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD ahead of its release on Monday, March 10.
Wicked raked in a whopping $726.8 million worldwide against a budget of $150 million, making it the third highest-grossing film of 204, behind Inside Out 2 and Deadpool and Wolverine.
Moreover, the movie became the highest-grossing Broadway adaptation in global box office history, surpassing Mamma Mia, which held the title since its 2008 release, reports the Express.
It also shattered several records during its opening weekend, including becoming the biggest global and domestic opening for a movie based on a Broadway show, outperforming the worldwide opening for 2012’s Les Miserables which made $103 million.
Star Ariana Grande also achieved her own milestone as the film scored the biggest domestic opening for a pop star, beating Lady Gaga’s A Star is Born at $42.5 million, Harry Styles ‘ Don’t Worry Darling at $19.3 million and Britney Spears’ Crossroads at $14.5 million.
Cynthia Erivo, director Jon M. Chu and producer Marc Platt have all celebrated their biggest opening weekends to date with this film, surpassing all of their previous works.
Ariana takes on the role of Galinda Upland, who later becomes Glinda the Good, while Cynthia portrays Elphaba Thropp, who eventually turns into the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum and Ethan Slater, alongside the leading duo.
This is the first instalment of a two-part adaptation of the stage musical of the same name by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which is loosely based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire.
Not only has the movie been a box office hit, but it has also received a wealth of critical acclaim, particularly for its performances and production design.
Wicked is available to buy or rent on Prime Video now. Wicked: For Good is scheduled for release on November 21 2025
