Opinion | You can tag as much faux spirituality on this as you like, but these are traditional (read patriarchal) gender roles, repackaged for the modern dating scene – and it needs to be consigned to the dustbin

As #Moana2 (passing $400M) and #WickedMovie (passing #Twisters) battle for #boxoffice supremacy, both will soon top China's biggest hit this year, the $480 million grossing #Yolo. This continues a Chinese decline in mega-grossing ($500-$900M) tentpoles that were a common occurance from 2016 to 2021.

If WICKED were pulling a $117M Wed-Sun Thanksgiving opening weekend alone, or if MOANA 2 were pulling a $220M five-day debut (or even $117M) sans competition, that would be great. But to have MOANA 2 opening with $220M while WICKED concurrently earns $117M in its *second weekend* is absurd.

Source tells me #Wicked is on track for mid $30M range for SAT. That would be down 22% from full FRI and up 35% from pure FRI. Solid family biz expected on SUN. Full opening wknd #boxoffice may end up in low $110M area.
