 Wicked

The most anticipated movie of 2024 Wicked starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo has taken social media by storm and is already breaking records after only 2 weeks of being in theaters. Wicked despite only being at the very end of November has already taken the title of best film of 2024. Wicked has been a movie that has been a work in progress for over 6 years. The movie is 2h41m and is just part one of a two part musical movie series. Below is a trailer to the movie. 

Wicked has taken a major hit on social media. Cynthia Erivo being a part of the lgbt+ community has seen a large amount of support from the queer media. In a recent interview the recent trend of "Holding Space" has taken storm over Tik Tok. 

Both Ariana and Cynthia are big public figures. Cynthia is known for acting and her time on broadway and Ariana is also known for acting as well as her very successful music career. With this they have had a large social following and able to participate in the trends as well as promoting their new movie. The #DefyingGravity had over 500k posts on Tik Tok. Most of them are pretty funny such as holding space for eating at a certain place or not studying for finals. It has truly taken over all forms of media.  https://www.tiktok.com/@carrie.cohenn/video/7441016088235724078?q=holding%20space%20&t=1733422591267  

Wicked has both taken over the theatre and social media. I was able to watch it and can understand why it has taken such a big leap in media. It is a very emotional movie yet also funny.
