In a cinematic triumph that echoes the success of her music career, Taylor Swift’s concert film, “The Eras Tour,” has emerged as a blockbuster, grossing a staggering $250 million in global ticket sales. The film, currently ranked 19th in the global box office, has secured its place among the top 20 films of 2023.
According to AMC Theatres, “The Eras Tour” achieved a remarkable feat over the Thanksgiving weekend in the United States, amassing $178.2 million domestically and an additional $71.8 million overseas. The concert film was produced on a budget of $15 million, entirely self-financed by Swift and her team.
Screened in theaters over the last seven weekends, the film drew in audiences with over $100 million worth of advanced ticket sales.
What makes this achievement even more notable is the comparison with AMC’s upcoming concert film, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.” While Swift’s “The Eras Tour” set a high bar with its $250 million gross, early predictions suggest that Beyoncé’s “Renaissance Tour” is anticipated to gross between $20 million and $25 million.
Scheduled for release on December 1, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” is set to provide an intimate look into Beyoncé’s record-breaking 56-performance, 39-city tour.
The global pop-sensation is not new to breaking records; “The Eras Tour” is on track to become the highest grossing tour of all time, with Forbes predicting the tour’s gross revenue could reach a whopping $1.6 billion. Swift recently finished the 2023 leg of her tour and is scheduled to retake the stage in 2024 with her first performance in Tokyo, Japan.
