‘Wicked’ and ‘Gladiator’ make gravity-defying theater debuts

Jon M. Chu’s lavish big-budget musical  “Wicked,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, debuted with $114 million domestically and $164.2 million globally for Universal Pictures, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Then there’s “Madame Web,” which took endless flack at the beginning of th...
