Things are finally beginning to taper off at the box office for Wicked now that the film has been in theaters for more than two months, but that didn’t stop it from earning a whopping $70 million during its first week on digital platforms, much more than it would have earned if it had been playing exclusively in theaters. At the time of writing, Wicked has grossed $469 million at the domestic box office and $247 million overseas for a worldwide total of $717 million. This $469 million is enough to make Wicked one of the top 10 highest-grossing original, non-sequel movies ever at the domestic box office, currently sitting in the #10 spot after recently passing Star Wars – Episode IV: A New Hope, which earned $460 million in 1977.
