New Gladiator II and Wicked mashup art shows gladiators on witch brooms. Though distinctly different films, Gladiator II and Wicked were often lumped together this year due to their dual release on November 22. In a twist on last year’s Barbenheimer, signifying the joint release of Barbie and Oppenheimer, this release competition was called Glicked. Wicked came out on top in this battle, opening to $112.5 million. Gladiator II still did well, but made less than half of this total upon premiering, bringing in $55 million.
