From NPR.

The movie "Wicked: For Good" was No. 1 at the North American box office over the weekend.

With "The Wizard of Oz" a children’s classic in the U.S., "Wicked: For Good" was expected to do well here — and with what looks like a $150 million opening weekend, it’s doing very well. But the story isn’t as well known in other countries, so "Wicked: For Good" opening to more than $75 million overseas was not a given.

The first "Wicked" film made $758 million worldwide, so their combined box-office will reach a billion dollars in the next few days.
