Taylor Swift stronger than Marvel and DC at the box office?



The Taylor Swift phenomenon

When we talk about films that were successful at the box office, superhero productions they are never very far away. Although the genre appears to have been in decline for some time, millions of dollars in revenue continue to be raked in for a large number of feature films.

Especially from the side of wonderwith who Guardians of the Galaxy 3 grossed more than $845 million in worldwide box office revenue. It’s a little more complicated from the side A.Dwith several failures in a row, but still a success in 2022 with The Batman. But could there be anyone even stronger than superheroes? YES. And his name is Taylor Swift.

The singer (and actress) is one of music’s biggest stars and each of his concerts is an event. In the United States she plays huge venues. In France you will propose four consecutive shows a Arena La Défense in Paris, on May 9, 10, 11 and 12, 2024. An event that fans flocked to last July. Unfortunately, Ticketmaster’s provision of seats went very badly due to numerous bugs.

A box office success with his filmed concert

For those who don’t have room there will always be the possibility of discovering part of the tour Taylor Swift: Tour of the Ages on the big screen. In fact, theaters in North America will broadcast October 13th a filmed concert of the singer. And here too there is an audience.

According to a recent report by Expiration (through Screenrant), presales for Taylor Swift’s filmed concert would already represent more than $65 million in revenue. Figures that only concern the American box office, and which should even increase up to 100 million dollars.

Compared, presales for The Batman were equivalent to $42 million. The DC film went on to gross just over $56 million at the US box office on its first day of business. On the Marvel side, pre-sales of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) was $60 million. Taylor Swift therefore ranks at the same level as Hollywood giants. Although his pre-sales remain lower than Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), an exceptional case that reached $120 million.

Faced with the Taylor Swift phenomenon, they preferred other productions move their exit so as not to have to face competition. This is for example the case of The Exorcist: Devotion, which was once slated for an October 13 release in the US, before bumping its release to October 6. In France the film will be released on October 11th. There’s no problem, at the moment there are no plans for a theatrical release Taylor Swift: Tour of the Ages. Here is the trailer:
