Starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the film has successfully navigated a competitive holiday season to become the second-highest-grossing musical adaptation of all time, trailing only its own predecessor. While the movie continues to draw crowds in theaters, Universal is ready to bring the Emerald City home. Tomorrow, December 30, marks the official VOD and digital release, offering fans the chance to own the film along with a treasure trove of bonus content just in time for New Year’s Eve.

The $500 million milestone is a testament to the enduring power of the Wicked brand. With a massive $331 million coming from domestic audiences alone, the sequel has proven that the “Pink and Green” phenomenon was no fluke.
