A week ago, the swifties from all over the world received the best gift possible. Taylor Swift herself announced that her concert tour would make it to the movies thanks to The Eras Tour Film Concert, and only a few hours after the pre-sale began, the box office projections grew like few times. Many would think that the euphoria dissipated with the passing of the days. But now, new data points to a brutal opening that could break records.
According to information from The Hollywood Reporternumerous expert sources believe that the Taylor Swift concert recording could debut with at least $100 million dollars (MDD) in its first three days and only in the United States. These are numbers never seen before for a projection of the same characteristics. If we count other concerts/documentaries that made it to the big screen, this would be the top 3 domestic gross to date.
- Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011) – $73 million
- Michael Jackson: This Is It (2009) – $72 million
- Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus (2008): $65 million
Basically, The Eras Tour Film Concert it would be positioned as the highest grossing content of its kind in just 3 days of exhibition. On the other hand, it is not ruled out that production reaches $150 million or more in the same period. to get it, would be the second best opening of the year at the US box officejust behind Barbie and its $162 million dollars last July.
The successful pre-sale of the concert is not only good news for Taylor Swift and her fans, the exhibition networks will also be reported by the high attendance of the opening weekend. After the delay of tapes like kraven the hunter and Dune: Part Two, theater owners can now breathe easy. Between The Exorcist and The Eras Tour Film Concertthe October box office, and even the first days of November, seem to be safe.
But if you thought that the exorbitant numbers only belonged to the United States, you are very wrong. Recently, Cinépolis +QUE CINE reported that the phenomenon is also being repeated in Mexico. According to their data, the concert has sold almost 300,000 tickets nationwide. That is, more people would see the singer in theaters than at her concerts in Mexico City. also surpassed the number of viewers and revenue that Avengers: Infinity War registered in the same period.
Even if Taylor Swift breaks the box office with her theatrical debut, it will be important to see how she fares in the weeks that follow. This type of content tends to collapse after the premiere, and if we add to this that it will only be screened on weekends, the type of route it could have is not entirely clear. Will the Swifties be the exception to the rule and demonstrate a never-before-seen box-office power?
The Eras Tour Film Concert It will hit theaters on October 13, 2023. A little over a month after its premiere, the time has come to make predictions. How much do you think it debuted at the box office? What tapes are at risk in the annual box office top?
