News summary

Universal Pictures has addressed rumors of a significant pay disparity between Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo for their roles in 'Wicked,' confirming that both actresses received equal pay. The speculation, which suggested Grande earned $15 million compared to Erivo's $1 million, was dismissed as baseless internet fodder by a Universal spokesperson. The film, which premiered recently, has already become a box office success, setting records for a musical adaptation with $114 million in its opening weekend in the US. Despite the rumors, both actresses have publicly expressed mutual admiration and support throughout the film's production and promotion. The alleged salary differences had sparked widespread discussion online, with many fans expressing outrage at the supposed disparity. However, the studio's clarification aims to quell these concerns and emphasize parity among the lead stars.
