to remember

Taylor Swift’s Queen at the US Box Office During a Crucial Music Weekend Film of his concert Tour of Eras, which was announced in theaters just a few weeks ago and with reduced promotional support, played – like its tours – to sold-out audiences on October 13th and 15th across the Atlantic. American “Swifties”, mobilized with their friendship bracelets, thus earned $96 million in three days despite the film’s long duration (2h48), which limits the number of daily screenings.

That opening—inflated with record-breaking advance sales of more than $26 million—immediately catapulted the record to the top of the genre charts: Tour of Eras It’s already the highest-grossing concert of all time in the United States, surpassing Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never, which grossed $73 million in 2011…for his entire career.

Another record could be achieved Pop star with 274 million followers on Instagram : The best opening weekend of the month of October before the Joker! The cost estimate, which will be corrected in the next few hours, according to the places Tour of Eras $96,000,000, where the Joaquin Phoenix-led film opened its career with $96,202,337 from October 4 to 6, 2019.

Therefore, this much-anticipated correction will be closely watched by all Hollywood specialists who are faced with a unique phenomenon in the history of the box office. “We’re talking about a decent start to a blockbuster that wasn’t on the schedule a few months ago.”, explains one to VarietyWhen another acknowledges existence “uncharted territory” And the bet on doubling the income but “unprecedented” apply

The strategy is all the more unique Tour of Eras It will be broadcast in US theaters only on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to bring fans together around the music and images of their idol. and Taylor Swift (who himself danced in his seat during the premiere, watch the video above) encourages them to take and share as many pictures as possible from the theaters to share the experience. Therefore the rooms can be full four days a week.

In France, The Eras Tour will be broadcast from October 13 on the same Thursday-Sunday schedule. Click here to view your session!

Other films showing across the Atlantic are clearly struggling to keep up with this wave of Swift, the weekend’s only major new feature. Exorcist – Loyalty ($11,000,000), Paw Patrol 2 ($7,000,000) and saw X ($5,700,000) appear above $5 million and all three are approaching $50 million in revenue.
