Wicked is the third highest grossing film of all time with a black woman playing the lead role

It sits only behind Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on $859m (Letitia Wright) and The Little Mermaid (2019) on $569m (Halle Bailey). Wicked currently sits at around $400m before taking into account Saturday numbers (and with most international numbers not being reported at all for this week yet)

Currently it is on track to take over The Little Mermaid but is very unlikely to match Wakanda Forever. Wakanda Forever is an MCU sequel, while The Little Mermaid is a Disney remake. In fairness, Wicked could be considered a “prequel” although it is based on an independent Broadway musical.
