On Thursday, the American movie theater chain AMC announced that the concert film “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour” has surpassed $100 million in global pre-sales.
This news comes just over a week before the film’s worldwide release and soon after AMC revealed their collaboration to showcase “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.”
Swift’s film holds AMC’s record for the highest single-day ticket sales in the U.S. and is slated to be screened in over 8,500 theaters worldwide.
The movie is a significant contributor to the impressive financial success of the Eras Tour, projected to have spurred up to $4.6 billion in consumer spending, as per estimates from QuestionPro.
This year, five films have marked their openings with over $100 million in domestic box office:
-“Barbie” at $162 million
-“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” at $146 million
-“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” at $120 million
-“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” at $118 million
-“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” at $106 million
Following the “Barbenheimer” weekend, Swift’s film emerges as the year’s second major cinematic event, geared towards drawing audiences to theaters in the post-pandemic era.
The film, spanning 2 hours and 48 minutes, captures moments from three of the mega-star’s shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, close to Los Angeles, in early August. The “Eras” tour has an impressive lineup of 146 dates.
