Tom Nunan, the co-head of the Producers Program at the Graduate School of Theater, Film and TV at UCLA, told The New York Times in an email that “’Glicked’ may not be ‘Barbenheimer,’” but that it’s still something to celebrate.

Two of the most highly anticipated films of the year have been released. 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator II' are now in theaters, and many are wondering if the two productions will replicate the success of 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer,' which resulted in the 'Barbenheimer' phenomenon.

Wicked” and “Gladiator II” both drew less in Thursday previews than their “Barbenheimer” counterparts, but are still expected to help the fall box office.
