Taylor Swift’s concert film hasn’t even been released yet and it’s already toppling box-office records.
Cinemark, a theater chain with about 500 locations, said that ticket sales for “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” are “setting domestic presale records” with demand “10 times higher” than any other film released through the company. The reaction has “blown everyone away,” Cinemark announced in a press release.Excitement has been building for the 3-hour-long film, which is opening Friday, October 13.
Swift’s movie crushed the single-day record less than three hours after tickets became available, prompting AMC to add extra showtimes where possible. The concert film, which is being screened in some theaters in both IMAX and standard versions, is expected to rake in between $100 million to $125 million in its opening weekend,Superstar Beyoncé is also releasing a film version of her “Renaissance World Tour” for a theatrical release. Ticket presales began Monday for the December 1 premiere.with the ranks of movies thinned out by the writers strike and the actors strike, the one-two punch looks like a gift from the musical gods.
In addition to Swift and Beyoncé, the box office also has been helped out by another fierce female: “Barbie.” The film hit themark barely three weeks into its run — only about 50 films in history, adjusted for inflation, have reached the benchmark. It’s made more than $630 million in the US box office since its July release.
