“Wicked: For Good” Trailer Sets Massive Viewership Record in 24 Hours

The newly released trailer for “Wicked: For Good,” the sequel to the Golden-Globe winning film “Wicked,” has taken the internet by storm—amassing an astonishing 113 million views within its first 24 hours. This milestone not only surpasses the 75 million views earned by the original “Wicked” trailer but also marks one of the biggest trailer debuts in recent history.

Universal Pictures, the studio behind the popular Broadway adaptation, disclosed this update, highlighting the strong audience anticipation for the film. The studio asserts that the latest trailer for “Wicked: For Good” achieved a record comparable to the box-office sensation “Barbie,” created by Greta Gerwig.

“Wicked: For Good” also outperformed the trailer debuts of blockbusters like “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” “Mufasa: The Lion King,”and “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.”

Starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, “Wicked: For Good” is set before, during, and after the events of The Wizard of Oz.

“Wicked: For Good”’s record-breaking trailer views may not directly translate to box office numbers, but they certainly raise expectations. The film is set for a theatrical release on November 21, 2025.
