By Dawn Chmielewski LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -"Wicked: For Good" brought in $150 million in the U.S. and Canada in its opening weekend, setting a record for a film adaptation of a Broadway musical and ranking among the best performing musicals of all time, according to the studio. The second half of the big-screen adaptation of "Wicked," which reunites Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba with Ariana Grande's Glinda, posted the third best domestic opening weekend for a musical ever, behind Disney's 2019's photorealistic computer-generated version of "The Lion King" and its 2017 remake of "Beauty and the Beast," according to Universal Pictures and Comscore's box office tallies. "Wicked: For Good" also helped lift a moribund North American box office from a nine-week slump, where total ticket sales failed to reach $100 million, according to Comscore.
