The concert film of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has achieved remarkable success, surpassing $100 million in global advance ticket sales just a week before its cinema release, according to AMC, the distributor. Demand for the film has been exceptional since its initial announcement, and it set a new record for highest one-day sales within less than 24 hours. This accomplishment solidifies it as the most lucrative concert film in history, overtaking Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never, which earned $99 million in 2011.
Swift’s Unprecedented Triumph: A Global Tour Making History
Swift’s ongoing global tour, scheduled until late 2024, is poised to become the largest in history, with stadium ticket sales potentially reaching $1.4 billion, surpassing the current record held by Elton John for his farewell tour.
The Eras tour film is set to premiere in cinemas across more than 100 countries next Friday. Analysts predict that, in addition to advance ticket sales, the film could generate another $100 million in box office revenue in North America during its opening weekend.
This success follows Swift’s historic achievement last year when she became the first artist to have songs in every slot of the top 10 US singles chart. Additionally, she broke records on Spotify, becoming the first female artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners. Swift’s strategic re-recording of her albums, including Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) in July, which topped charts in the US and UK, has also contributed to her ongoing success. Her next re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), is set to be released later this month, as she continues the process to regain ownership of her original recordings.
