Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie ranks as the 19th most successful film of 2023, grossing $250 million globally. According to Variety, it's the second highest-grossing concert movie, trailing behind Michael Jackson's ‘This Is It’, which holds the top spot with $261 million.
Taylor is on track to potentially surpass that record soon.
The Eras Tour movie, capturing Taylor's immensely successful concert series, amassed $178.2 million domestically and $71.8 million internationally. It stands as the 11th highest-grossing film of the year in the US.
The report highlighted that the film's unique Thursday-to-Sunday screening schedule, along with elevated ticket prices, likely contributed to its success. In India, the movie premiered on November 3, accruing ₹8 crore in earnings, as reported by Sacnilk.
Taylor is now gearing up to bring her movie to households in the U.S. and Canada. The 33-year-old singer announced on Instagram that within just over two weeks, the concert film will be available for streaming. Starting on her birthday, December 13, fans will have the chance to secure one of the most coveted tickets of the year from the comfort of their homes.
‘Well, so, basically I have a birthday coming up and I was thinking a fun way to celebrate the year we've had together would be to make The Eras Tour Concert Film available for you to watch at home!’ she wrote on Instagram alongside a clip of her performing ‘Wildest Dreams’ from 1989 (Taylor's Version) onstage in the film.
Taylor disclosed that certain songs omitted from the initial theatrical release worldwide in October will be part of the on-demand version. Despite the concert movie lasting two hours and forty-five minutes, several beloved tracks were excluded from the film, which spanned nearly three hours and fifteen minutes during the Eras Tour. Swift has opted to include some of these tracks for the digital release.
She continued on Instagram, ‘Very happy to be able to tell you that the extended version of the film including 'Wildest Dreams,' 'The Archer' and 'Long Live' will be available to rent on demand in the US, Canada & additional countries to be announced soon starting on ... you guessed it, December 13.’
