Theupbeat, colorful marketingfor the sure-fire holiday hitWickedhas tiptoed around a very important fact.
Its that whenWickedhits theaters on November 22, its only half the story.

TheAMC Theaterspage says the samethough, of note,Moviefonesays two hours and 22 minutes.
The show,give or take, runs two hours and 45 minutes with an intermission.
Now, you fully expect it to be at least a little longer.
So sure, you get that each movie isnt going to be a 1:1 split in half.
It was never going to be 90 minutes.

Its certainly a possibility.
And frankly, thats what were hoping for.
It opens November 22.
