Taylor Swift can add a new title to her illustrious resume: box-office superstar.
Teenagers trade bracelets while waiting for the beginning of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert movie in a cinema in Mexico City, Mexico, on October 13. In its opening weekend, the pop singer’s concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” raked in about $96 million in the box office in the United States and Canada, movie theater chain AMC said Sunday. That makes it the highest grossing concert film domestically for an opening weekend, according to AMC.
The $96 million in domestic box office sales dwarfed its competition, including “The Exorcist: Believer” and “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie.” “Eras” gives fans who couldn’t score a ticket a chance to sing, dance, dress up and swap home-made Eras bracelets with other Swifties. The movie, directed by Sam Wrench, is nearly three hours long and was filmed over three nights at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles this summer.
Swift, a 12-time Grammy winner, announced the movie in late August, posting on Instagram that tickets were already on sale. First showings were initially slated for Friday, but additional shows were added Thursday and throughout the weekend due to “unprecedented demand,” Swift wrote this week on X, formerly known as Twitter.
