Disney release their long awaited sequel movie Zootopia 2 this week and it was set to de-thrown current box office champ Wicked For Good, but The Wizard of Oz prequel/equal was too strong and remained on top by quite a margin.

With Five Nights At Freddys 2 the biggest new release next weekend and Disney movie having legs over the holiday periods Zootopia 2 could still have its day.

Director Jon M. Chu who has been on board for a year or so now has released an open letted explaining that the writing has proved impossible to squeeze into a single movie.

He explains that too much of a compromise was being made so the decision was made for a Wicked part 1 and Wicked Part 2.

The story is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz and is set to star Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, it has been a hit West End and Broadway music and came out in 2003.

The open letter announces the first movie will be released holiday season, December 25th, 2024, and expect the second part a year later, December 25th 2025 in North America, expect the UK release to be December 26th 2024 and 2025.

At the UK box office this week Sam Raimi has his latest film turn into a blockbuster for Disney with Oz The Great and Powerful debuting at number 1.

A weekend gross of £3.7 million is enough for Oz to knock last weeks top film, Hansel and Gretel right down to the 6th place, the Witch Hunter film suffering a massive drop in it's second weekend of release.

Oz, a prequel to the classic The Wizard of Oz, had a strong opening but did not manage one of the top opening of all time.

Last year Disney was celebrating with a top spot debut for John Carter, it was no where near as strong as Oz, and terrible reviews killed it quickly, but the opening weekend was just why of £2 million.

Five years ago the Dennis Quaid vehicle Vantage point was the top film, making it's debut there with £1.4 million.

Ten years ago Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes were doing the romantic thing at the top with Maid In Manhattan which took £2.5 million on it's debut.

Fifteen years ago it was still all about Titanic at the top, having made £44.5 million by now with the highest new film Oscar winning Good Will Hunting debuting at 2.

Twenty years ago Dracula was still the top film while Steven Segal was fighting terrorists on a boat in Under Siege.

Sam Raimi gives us a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, Jason Statham is in full action form again and Barbara Streisand mothers Seth Rogan at the box office this weekend.

In Oz The Great and Powerful Sam Raimi directs James Franco and Mila Kunis in a origins story for 1939's The Wizard of Oz.

Parker, based on the 9th book in the Flashfire series, has Jason Statham joined by Jennifer Lopez in this crime drama.

The guilt Trip has Barbara Streisand being the overbearing mother to Seth Rogan in this light hearted comedy.
