Taylor Swift’s concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, continues its usual streak at the box office and recently reached a major milestone when the singer revealed the highly anticipated release date.
AMC, the distributor of the concert film, is proud to announce that the film has surpassed the $250 million mark at the global box office. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is one of the few titles to have achieved that mark so far this year. In fact, The Hollywood Reporter notes that it is now among the top 20 highest-grossing videos in the world in 2023.
The film’s performance is notable in the United States, where Swift’s fan base is the largest and most fervent. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour ranks as the eleventh highest-grossing name of the year at the box office.
What adds to the film’s monetary good fortune is its impressive profitability. With an announced production cost of between $12 million and $15 million, it’s easy to see that the concert film has more than recouped its money. Swift and her team made a technically cutting-edge decision by financing the film independently and collaborating with AMC to distribute it, avoiding the involvement of a classic studio. The move not only showcases the singer’s business acumen, but also allows the star and her team to maximize returns from the project.
Earlier this week, the Grammy nominee announced that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour could be seen at home much faster than expected. The film will be available to rent on demand from December 13, his birthday. Extra entices enthusiasts to pay again, as it includes several songs that have never been released in theaters.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’s good fortune began even before its theatrical release. It broke records for maximum pre-sales in AMC’s history shortly after its announcement. The film went on to make history, surpassing the all-time maximum productive screening for a concert film in U. S. history after only its opening weekend.
