MOVIE theaters turned into concert venues this weekend as Swifties brought their dance moves and friendship bracelets to multiplexes across the United States and beyond.
This unparalleled enthusiasm helped propel 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' to a massive, first-place debut between $95 million and $97 million in North America, AMC Theaters said on Sunday.It's easily the biggest opening for a concert film of all time, and, not accounting for inflation, has made more than the $73 million 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' earned in 2011. In today's dollars, that would be about $102 million.
There's also no precedent for something like 'The Eras Tour' and a celebrity of Swift's stature.'The laws of gravity don't apply to Taylor Swift,' Dergarabedian said.Hit with moviegoers, criticsThe film scored well with both critics and audiences, who gave it an A+ CinemaScore, a metric that typically signals a film will continue to do well after its first weekend.
