Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s "Wicked" dominates Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington’s “Gladiator II” this weekend at the domestic box office.

“Wicked” collected an additional $50.2 million at the international box office, bringing its global tally to $164.2 million. It marks the biggest worldwide opening for a film based on a Broadway show, supplanting another Universal musical, “Les Miserables,” with $103 million in 2012.

The arrival of the two buzzworthy films, dubbed "Glicked," was poised to be the sequel to the "Barbenheimer" double feature phenomenon. Did it live up to expectations?
