This market refers to solely its initial theatrical run. If "Wicked" appears mathematically certain to not reach $750 million, I reserve the right to resolve this market NO early (without waiting for it to leave every theater). To be specific, if 25x its latest weekly gross would not be enough to reach $750M, this can resolve NO.
Possible clarification from creator (AI generated): The theatrical run in Japan (scheduled for March) will be included in the worldwide box office total.

@elf the last time the exchange rate was this bad was in 1990
for example, the greatest showman made 5.2B yen which came out to $48M at the time, but 5.2B yen today would only be $34M today.
or to take a more extreme example, Tangled made 2.5B yen which came out to $31M at the time, but 2.5B yen would only be $16M today
Japan is also a shrinking country, with 122M people in 2025 as opposed to the 128M that Tangled had to work with, and an aging country, where the % of people aged over 65 and the % of people over 80 has doubled in the same time.
Wicked is very popular in Japan but a lot of more fundamental metrics are against it
@Tripping Good point, & yes, I'll plan to wait for japan. (if it was like a year later, it'd be hard to define whether that counts as part of the initial theatrical run, but since it's scheduled for just march, and it will probably have recently been in domestic theaters at that point, i think it should count).
