Fandango, the nation’s leading online movie ticketing service, announced today that Universal Pictures’ new cinematic event, “Wicked,” is now Fandango’s No. 2 first-day ticket pre-seller of 2024, only behind blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The film is also the best PG-Rated first-day ticket pre-seller of 2024 and the No. 3 best PG-Rated first-day ticket pre-seller of all time; only behind the theatrical hits of “Frozen II” and “The Lion King” (2019).
“Fan anticipation for the cinematic masterpiece ‘Wicked’ is incredibly high for what is set to be a one-of-a-kind must-see theatrical event,” said Jerramy Hainline, EVP of Fandango Ticketing. “The success of the film’s first-day ticket sales is a testament to fans’ love for this iconic property, and the off-the-charts appetite to see this beloved story come to life on the big screen.”
To celebrate tickets being on sale, Fandango is offering U.S. fans the chance to win a trip to Oz.
