“We wanted the fun, and the whole artistic fulfillment of being able to make these movies was to be able to explore our story and our characters with a little bit more depth,” said Holzman. “And nobody wanted to cut any songs — in fact, we wanted to add songs.”
Even though the story was split into two movies, they were filmed together, concluding in January 2024, which Erivo celebrated with an Instagram post of a silhouette of her on a broomstick. “That’s a wrap for me, Elphie out!!” she wrote in the caption.
The first film opened to rave reviews and a lucrative opening weekend last year, raking in $114 million across North American theaters from its first few days of screenings (and besting rival Gladiator II’s $55 million opening, as the films shared a release date).
The cinema sensation continued to bring in hundreds of millions internationally in the weeks to come — and even gained awards attention, including 10 Oscar nominations.
The first film’s press cycle, full of happy tears by the pair of leading ladies, similarly captured the hearts and minds of fans late last year — particularly one viral interview moment when Grande and Erivo reacted to an interviewer saying she had seen people “holding space” for the lyrics of the climactic anthem “Defying Gravity” on social media.
