Ahead of its release next month, Wicked: For Good has already set a huge record. With just over a month until part two premieres, the award-winning musical film has become Fandango's best first-day ticket pre-seller of 2025.
An impressive feat, Wicked: For Good has already surpassed Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Movie – Infinity Castle, Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, and Superman.
As a result, the movie has joined the ranks of Fandango's top 10 best all-time first-day ticket pre-sellers.
Speaking about the sequel's early success, Jerramy Hainline, EVP of Fandango, said: "With last year's Wicked breaking records and captivating audiences around the world, it is no surprise that fans are racing to get their tickets to Wicked: For Good.
"The first film became a true cultural phenomenon, bringing new generations into the world of Wicked, and it's clear that fans can't wait to see how the story continues on the big screen."

Slated for release on 21 November, Wicked: For Good will see the return of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, as leads Elphaba and Glinda. Meanwhile, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum and Marissa Bode will all reprise their respective roles.
Universal Pictures has also released an official synopsis. It reads: "Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonised as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
"Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and revelling in the perks of fame and popularity.

"Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard."
Noting that part two will also follow Glinda as "she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero" (Bailey) while contending with her separation from Elphaba, the film will force Glinda and Elphaba "to come together one final time" to "change themselves, and all of Oz, for good."
Wicked: For Good will land in UK cinemas on 21 November.
