Resolves according to which film Box Office Mojo lists as the #1 top grossing film in the United States in 2025 (using calendar gross).
@generalconsensus yeah (1) if wicked 2 can ~match the pace of wicked 1, then that should be enough to pass minecraft, & (2) the presale numbers look good, so (1) + (2) is the main story here.
there's still a fair amount of uncertainty with that story—you could imagine a sequel being much more frontloaded (since awareness is much higher), so beating the original's OW might not imply it keeps pace (as wicked 1 had insanely strong domestic legs, so if people are just a little less enthusiastic about wicked 2 it might not hold as well).
@Ziddletwix shucks i misread another market and filled your order, incorrectly thinking you disagreed with the more efficient market, you win
@Bayesian I’m offended. I’m personally keeping all the markets efficient. Plus a chaos factor I will not reveal.
@Ziddletwix oh! That got me, I did not see that at all. I guess I’d better hope for a truly massive opening :)
