Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert pic has achieved yet another milestone at the global box office.
AMC Theatres, which is distributing the film, announced Monday that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has amassed $250 million in worldwide movie ticket sales to rank among the top 20 biggest films of 2023. It’s easily the most successful concert film of all time.
Eras Tour finished Thanksgiving weekend with a North American total of $178.2 million and $71.8 million overseas.
It currently stands at No. 19 on the global chart not far behind The Nun II ($268 million) and The Flash ($270.1 million). Domestically, it stands at a dazzling No. 11 behind the likes of Sound of Freedom ($184.2 million) and John Wick: Chapter Four ($187.1 million).
Swift and her team self-financed the $15 million film, which has been playing in theaters from Thursday to Sunday for seven weekends.
The pic has been a boon for cinema owners as the pipeline of content from traditional Hollywood studios slowed due to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Swift broke with tradition in deciding to partner with AMC, versus a studio, in bringing her secret pic to the big screen.
Eras Tour will return to theaters again this Thursday just as AMC distributes its second film — Beyoncé Renaissance concert pic.
By Friday, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé will be playing in thousands of theaters across North America. Tracking shows it opening in the $20 million to $25 million range domestically (that compares to $92.8 million for Eras Tour.)
Beyoncé attended a star-studded premiere for her movie in Los Angeles on Nov. 25. Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett, along with Janelle Monáe, Issa Rae, Lizzo, Halle and Chloe Bailey, Lupita Nyong’o and Terry Perry, were among the guests.
