Taylor Swift, a global icon in the arena of music and entertainment, has consistently redefined the boundaries of her art throughout her career. Now once again, she's making headlines, this time for her upcoming Eras Tour concert film.
According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film is projected to open with a record-breaking $100 million, based on advance ticket sales that reached an impressive $10 million within just hours of it going on sale. By the next day, this figure had surged to $26 million, which explains why the film is now forecast to earn at least $150 million at the domestic box office.
To put this into perspective, the Taylor Swift film is on track to surpass the openings of other notable concert films such as Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert with $31 million, Michael Jackson's This Is It with $23.2 million, and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never with $29.5 million.
Currently, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never holds the record for the highest-grossing concert film domestically with just $73 million, though it is overshadowed by Michael Jackson's This Is It at the worldwide box office with an incredible $181 million earned.
Advance ticket sales for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film amassed an astonishing $26 million within the first 24 hours, eclipsing the previous record held by 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, which saw $16.9 million in first-day ticket sales. In response to Swift's announcement, Hollywood studios swiftly reshuffled their October release calendars.
