Taylor Swift's upcoming concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, is set to make waves in the entertainment industry. With its global release on October 13, it is predicted to become the highest-grossing concert film of all time.
Currently, the record for the highest-grossing concert movie in the United States is held by Justin Bieber's Never Say Never, which earned $73 million at the box office. Following closely behind is Michael Jackson's This Is It, which made slightly over $72 million in North America alone.
However, early projections for Taylor Swift's concert film indicate that it may surpass these records in just its first weekend. Estimates suggest a box office draw of over $100 million, thanks to strong pre-order ticket sales. If these predictions hold true, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour would quickly surpass Bieber's record.
On a global scale, Taylor Swift is also expected to outperform other artists. Michael Jackson's This Is It earned just under $182 million worldwide, while Justin Bieber's Never Say Never made just under $100 million. With its release in over 100 countries, Taylor Swift's concert film has the potential to achieve massive financial success.
In terms of North American numbers alone, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour could potentially become the highest-grossing concert film of all time. If the film earns around $100 million in its first weekend, its total box office revenue could exceed $125 million or more, depending on its longevity in theaters.
It is worth noting that the movie will also be shown in theaters worldwide on the same day, further increasing its potential earnings. Given the performances of Jackson and Bieber, it is reasonable to expect that Taylor Swift's concert film will likely earn at least 30% of its North American total from international screenings.
Based on current ticket sales and the success of similar releases from other music icons, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour could potentially make $130 million or even $150 million in just a week or two. Regardless of the final total, it is clear that Taylor Swift's concert film will become the highest-grossing concert film of all time, surpassing previous records by a significant margin.
