It isn’t a surprise that Universal/Comcast Corp. has moved Wicked away from its initial Dec. 20, 2019 release date. Aside from the whole “Star Wars IX opens on Dec. 20 as well” factor, there is the simple fact that we haven’t heard anything about the movie since it was announced two years ago. So the big news isn’t that Wicked has been indefinitely postponed. No, the big news is that Universal has swapped out the adaptation of one popular and kid-friendly Broadway sensation with another. As of moments ago, we now know that Cats will be opening on that day instead of Wicked.
