Glicked? Wickedator? Whichever you prefer, the cinema industry and B&B Theatres experienced an electrifying weekend as “Gladiator II” and “Wicked” stormed onto big screens, creating a phenomenon that will go down in moviegoing history. The excitement surrounding these two cinematic juggernauts propelled us at B&B Theatres to achieve four significant milestones across our 100-year history:

  • Biggest Musical Opening (Wicked)
  • Biggest November Weekend

    • The magic of “Wicked’s” beloved songs combined with the epic spectacle of “Gladiator II” drew audiences of all ages to our theaters, reaffirming the unique power of the big screen to create unforgettable shared experiences.

    “This weekend wasn’t just about breaking records, although we’re always happy when that happens!”, said Bob Bagby, CEO of B&B Theatres. “It was about celebrating the magic of cinema and further proving that the theatrical experience is alive and thriving.
