Musical Broadway musical hit 'Wicked' to the big screen

Sure, that would be cute, but there is enough evidence that shows titles such as that deter people away from the theater.
True, which is why the first one was only ever marketed as "Wicked" even though it wasn't a secret. I do think that there are exceptions to the rule if something has a strong enough fanbase. For example, I think Wicked skews closer to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows than Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning as far as Part 1/2 titles go. And even just for casual audience members, Wicked gave people enough of a reason to go out and experience it in theaters as opposed to just waiting to watch it at home before Part 2.
 
Didn’t Dune: PART TWO not just make a ton of movie over the first lol

The first Dune wasn't marketed as PART ONE tho.
Dune Part Two also had a more normal release compared to the first movie. No day and date streaming on Max, no crowded box office competition due to Covid delays from other blockbusters in 2021, etc.

Part One was a day and date release movie during the pandemic era. So not exactly apples to apples
 
Well tbf, she doesn't get another major song right?

I’d say “Thank Goodness” is pretty major.

I think she and Elphaba are each getting 1 new song though. Makes sense to me - Act 2 crams a lot of stuff into a very short runtime (crazy to think the entirety of The Wizard of Oz happens in the middle of it), so if they’re stretching that out to 2+ hours that’s gonna result in long stretches without music if you didn’t add these songs, and frankly, there are some character beats in there that would REALLY benefit from getting a bit more fleshed out.
 
Emilia Perez is this year's CRASH. Everyone hates it.
It wouldn't get nearly as much hate if it wasn't an unnecessary musical. They could have gotten away with it if the songs were actually good but they're not so that's what we're stuck with.

Zoe serving up camel toe on a table, though.
