The upcoming releases of 'Wicked', 'Gladiator II', and 'Moana 2' are predicted to significantly boost the US box office, offering optimism for a successful holiday season. The films have received positive reviews and are anticipated to draw large crowds, potentially surpassing box office records set in 2018.
A trio of film releases — Wicked, Gladiator II and Disney’s Moana 2 — are expected to jolt a sagging US box office back to life over the next week, giving cinemas hope for a strong holiday season . Universal’s Wicked and Paramount’s Gladiator II opened this weekend to good reviews, and Moana 2 will debut on Wednesday ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday in the US.
The film, which runs two hours and forty minutes, is scheduled to be the first of two instalments chronicling the early life of the Wicked Witch of the West, performed by Cynthia Erivo. Gladiator II, the Ridley Scott-directed, $250mn sequel to his Oscar-winning 2000 film featuring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix, is expected to take in $65mn at the US box office this weekend. Running at almost two and a half hours, it earned $87mn outside the US last week.
