That sounds like a lot — until you learn that the Jon M. Chu-directed film made over $160 million in its opening weekend. But how much of that budget went to the stars of Wicked, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo? Over the weekend, there were rumors that Grande was paid $15 million to play Galinda (or Glinda, […]

Even its apparent faults feel like strengths. Neil Young’s […]
