'Wicked' Moves Release Date 5 Days Earlier | THR News Video

'Wicked' fans - we're getting our hands on the musical adaptation sooner than we expected! Fans won't have to wait quite as long to see Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda in action in Oz as Universal Pictures announced that the musical feature will hit theaters Nov. 22. The film has moved up from its previously scheduled release on Nov. 27, the day before Thanksgiving, with the new date giving the movie more time to build momentum heading into the holiday weekend.
