Moviegoers remember a viral moment that occurred last year known as Barbenheimer, where Barbie (which is streaming now with a Max subscription) and Oppenheimer were released into theaters on the same weekend. The very different projects inspired moviegoers to do double features, and there’s another box office brawl brewing in theaters: Wickediator aka Wicked and Gladiator II‘s simultaneously release. But which blockbuster will win the box office on opening weekend? Here’s the latest.

Barnenheimer became a pop culture moment and is even inspiring its own movie. We’ll have to see if the fan excitement around Wickediator is at the same level. Box office predictions for opening weekend are started to roll in, and most analysts seem to think that Wicked will end up making more money. Although they’re both expected to do quite well in theaters.

Box Office Pro poses that the first Wicked movie could make from $100 million to $125 during its opening weekend in theaters over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Meanwhile, they think Gladiator II would make from $60-$80 million. This definitely would be a big discrepancy, although other outlets think the gap between the two movies’ performance could be smaller.

THR formed its own set of predictions or Wicked and Gladiator II, which offer a more modest view on how Ariana Grande‘s movie musical will perform. That outlet thinks Jon M. Chu‘s flick will make around $85 million, and have Gladiator II at $65 million to start its run in theaters. This still puts the musical over the action flick, but at much less of a blowout.
