Wicked

Front-Runner Starts strong, fades late
2024 · Drama, Romance, Fantasy · Jon M. Chu

Wicked wins a lot of early-round matchups but struggles against the best. At 56% overall, first impressions only go so far. Jon M. Chu's adaptation lands with the built-in fervor of the stage musical and a 'Defying Gravity' finale engineered to stop a room cold. What it carries into a forced choice is recognition and spectacle: a fanbase that already knows every lyric, and a showstopper most opponents have no answer for. Among Jon M. Chu's films on BingeBracket, nothing beats it. 1.9s avg decision time (platform avg: 3.5s). No deliberation needed.

Synopsis

In the land of Oz, ostracized and misunderstood green-skinned Elphaba is forced to share a room with the popular aristocrat Glinda at Shiz University, and the two's unlikely friendship is tested as they begin to fulfill their respective destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
