Wicked: For Good casts another spell on box…
It did ‘Wicked’ good.
“Wicked: For Good,” flew its broomstick into first place on its box workplace debut on Friday, incomes $68.68 million, according to The Numbers.
The sequel to last 12 months’s “Wicked” was “an emotional and elongated version of the Broadway musical’s second act,” The Post said.

“It’s been such an incredible ride and an incredible experience to create with people we love so much and respect so much creatively, but also who just have such great hearts,” Ariana Grande, who performs Glinda, told E! News at the movie’s NYC premiere at Lincoln Center on Monday.
The musical fantasy is slated to get pleasure from a $151.5 million greenback weekend opening, as per Deadline.
In second place was “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” on its second Friday in theaters, shifting down a notch from last weekend, with gross sales of $2.4 million.
The heist flick, which reportedly value $90 million to produce, is predicted to earn a three-day complete of $9.45 million this weekend.
“Predator: Badlands,” remained in third, with a $1.7 million take on its third Friday in theaters, and is estimated to reel in $6.2 million in complete this weekend.

“Rental Family,” the comedy-drama starring Brendan Fraser, landed in fifth on its first day in theaters Friday, with gross sales of $1.2 million.
Set in Tokyo, The Post called the movie “a heartwarming jewel of a movie that is a dazzling showcase of Japan’s urban and natural beauty,” and Fraser “as terrific as you’d hope him to be” in his position as an American actor-turned-father-for-hire working for a “rental family” company.
To prep for the half, Fraser took Japanese classes, its director Hikari said in a behind-the-scenes video posted by Searchlight Pictures.
“He was like, ‘I’m in.’ So he took classes three or four times a week,” she said.

In the clip, Fraser’s co-star, Mari Yamamoto, spoke on what it was like to work with the Academy Award winner.
“He’s exactly what you hope he’d be,” she gushed.
“Kind and generous to everybody. Acting with him is like really knowing somebody is going to catch you when you fall.”
“I was looking for that perfect actor to play the role,” Hikari added.
“I’ve always been a big fan of Brendan. I mean, who isn’t?”
