Taylor Swift’s upcoming “Eras Tour” concert film is already smashing records and making headlines well before its theatrical release. With just a week to go before it graces the big screen, the film has achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing $100 million in advance ticket sales worldwide. This incredible success has been confirmed by its official distributor, AMC Theatres, and is not limited to AMC locations but includes all showtimes, venues, and circuits around the globe.
Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert film promises to be a cinematic event of epic proportions, capturing her record-breaking stadium tour. The film is scheduled to open in theaters on October 13, aligning with the pop star’s lucky number, and it will be screened in an impressive 8,500 cinemas spanning across 100 countries.
With this incredible momentum, the “Eras Tour” film is poised to secure one of the most significant debuts of the year. Industry experts are speculating that the film could potentially exceed $100 million in North America alone during its opening weekend, and this figure doesn’t even account for the international box office. Such an achievement would be unprecedented for a concert film. In 2023, only five films – “Barbie” ($162 million), “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ($146 million), “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” ($120 million), “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” ($118 million), and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” ($106 million) – have managed to generate at least $100 million in their domestic debuts.
Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” has consistently shattered expectations right from the moment tickets went on sale. It set a new single-day ticket sales record for AMC Theatres in North America, raking in an astonishing $26 million. This impressive figure surpassed the previous all-time record held by “Spider-Man: No Way Home” ($16.9 million). Notably, advance ticket sales have shown exceptional strength in premium large-screen formats like Imax and Dolby Cinema, according to AMC.
To ensure that fans across the United States can experience the “Eras Tour” film, AMC Theatres has committed to screening it at least four times per day on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at all of its theater locations. Additionally, AMC has expressed its intention to continue working towards agreements with other cinema operators worldwide to showcase this remarkable cinematic event.
The anticipation surrounding Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concert film is undoubtedly reaching a fever pitch, and it is poised to make a historic mark in the world of music cinema when it hits theaters. Fans and moviegoers alike are eagerly awaiting the release to witness this exceptional production on the big screen.
