NEW YORK CITY: In a movie match-up almost as unlikely as 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer,' Martin Scorsese took on Taylor Swift in cinemas over the weekend.
And while the box office belonged to 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' for a second week, Scorsese's 'Killers of the Flower Moon' got off to a strong start in Apple Studios' first major theatrical gambit.After a record-breaking opening weekend of $92.8 million, 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' took in an estimated $31 million over the weekend from 3,855 locations, AMC Theaters reported.
While Netflix — which backed Scorsese's last narrative feature, 'The Irishman,' in 2019 — has charted a mostly limited approach to theatrical release, Apple and Amazon, which last year closed its purchase of MGM, have pursued more expansive theatrical strategies.Earlier this year, Apple said it planned to spend $1 billion a year making movies that would have theatrical releases before reaching its streaming service.
