Recently, it was revealed that Ariana Grande‘s new film ‘Wicked‘ will battle a big classic on its release day. This could be bad for the debut on the big screen of this new production, where the singer will star.
The fantasy movie was positioned as the big premiere of the month of November, and the expectation of the box office numbers was high, as apparently it would have no rival, but now it must share theaters with ‘Gladiator II‘, a world-famous and successful franchise that complicates the plans of its opponent.

Ariana Grande’s movie is scheduled for release on November 22nd, and it was recently confirmed that the sequel to the action movie will also debut on the same day in theaters, so it is being compared to the ‘BARBIEHEIMER‘ phenomenon of 2023 since both have completely different genres and audiences.
In the past, this phenomenon worked out well for both productions, achieving the expected box office success, besides adding some popularity as it became a trend to see the two movies on the same day. However, it is only a matter of time before we know what will be the development of ‘Gladiator II’ vs. ‘Wicked‘.
