Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, Universal’s musical fantasy will drop on November 26, 2025. Why the date change? Well, would you want to open against “Avatar 3 if you don’t have to”? This is the first bit of musical chairs to come after the Walt Disney Company announced a slew of new dates last week, including moving “Avatar 3” back a year to December 2025, moving the next two “Avengers” films each back a year to May 2026 and 2027 and slotting two “Star Wars” films for May 2026 and December 2026.

The thinking is arguably two-fold.
First, there still hasn’t been that much testing of a pre-COVID level tentpole-after-tentpole scheduling, with March 2022 seeing strong results from “Creed 3,” “John Wick: Chapter 4” and “Scream VI” even while “Dungeons and Dragons” and “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” both stumbled. Likewise, while one might blame the movies themselves, this summer has seen one MCU smash (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
