I’m not doubting wicked can easily come out on top

But are these numbers adjusted for inflation ?

hillary clinton has more grammys than abba so this makes sense

It amazes me Les Mis did so well because I was under the impression that it was hated lol

If its like the billboard touring grossing charts then no, but wikipedia probably has a helpful table showing original gross & inflation adjusted gross figures

I thought this movie had made over a billion dollars

There’s still a second part to come out in 2025, so combined wicked as a whole will be an untouchable record for broadway adaptations

I loved the 2nd movie! And I’ve never really listened to ABBA so there’s that

I feel the creators are strategizing to make Wicked part 2 the big one that’s going be darker, edgier - and gain that critical acclaim and record box office numbers. 

Wicked part 1 was amazing and I think part 2 is going to be even a bigger pop culture moment.
