Taylor Swift's upcoming Eras Tour concert film has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, surpassing $100 million in advance ticket sales globally, according to AMC, the film's distributor.
The demand for tickets has been unprecedented, breaking records within just 24 hours of its announcement. This achievement propels the film to the title of the most profitable concert film in history, a position previously held by Justin Bieber's Never Say Never, which earned $99 million in 2011.
Swift's Eras Tour, a part of her ongoing global tour that is set to continue until late 2024, is not only breaking records in cinemas but also in stadiums. Analysts predict that stadium ticket sales could reach a staggering $1.4 billion, surpassing Elton John's farewell tour record.
The concert film, set to be released in cinemas across more than 100 countries next Friday, is expected to bring in another $100 million in box office earnings in North America during its opening weekend, based on advance ticket sales and the fervour surrounding the pop sensation.
AMC is also gearing up to distribute the movie of Beyoncé's Renaissance tour, slated for release in December, promising music enthusiasts an exciting end to the year.
Swift's monumental success is not new; she made history last year by having songs in every slot of the top 10 US singles chart, a feat unmatched since The Beatles in 1964. Additionally, she recently became the first female artist on Spotify to reach 100 million monthly listeners, reinforcing her status as a global music icon.
