Jon M Chu’s latest project, Wicked Reimagined, got panned for lacking magic. He’s the director of Crazy Rich Asians, breaking Hollywood norms.
The film adaptation of the Broadway musical 'Wicked: For Good' opened strongly, earning $150 million in North America and $226 million globally. Critics praise the performances of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, though some note a lack of cohesion with the first film. The movie is a major success for the industry as it approaches year-end.
