Wicked: Part II arrives in November
Bringing one of Broadway’s most famous musicals to the screen, Evil came out in theaters last year. The feature film describes the meeting between Elphaba and Glinda, two witches who live in the world of Oz who get to know each other when they enroll at Shiz University. Their differences don’t stop them from creating a very strong bond andstart a deep friendship. But their relationship with the Wizard of Oz risks causing trouble between them.
The adaptation of the musical, directed by Jon M. Chuwas split into two films. Wicked: Part II however, it was filmed at the same time as the first part. This will allow fans to discover this sequel less than a year before the release of the first film. But before that, has already broken several records

And according to the latter, Wicked: Part II signed the most important first day of pre-sales of the year. But also the biggest first day of pre-sales of all time for a PG-rated film (i.e. for which parents are advised to accompany their children).
