Taylor Swift's Era Tour concert movie surpassed the domestic box office sales of Killers of the Flower Moon. However, the latter achieved higher worldwide box office sales.
Amidst the conclusion of the writers' strike and the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, a plethora of captivating movies have been released in theaters in recent weeks.
In October, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert movie and Martin Scorsese’s crime epic Killers of the Flower Moon were two of the most anticipated releases. Many movie-goers predicted a fierce box office battle between the two films. Initially, Taylor Swift's movie claimed the top position, but now Killers of the Flower Moon has caught up.
Killers of the Flower Moon beats Eras Tour internationally
Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert movie has outperformed Killers of the Flower Moon at the domestic box office, accumulating $23 million in comparison to Swift's impressive $32 million during the second weekend of the Eras Tour.
Killers of the Flower Moon earned approximately $21 million at the global box office, while the Eras Tour made around $10 million. It is remarkable that Scorsese's gritty and emotional three-hour film outperformed Swift's upbeat and light-hearted pop fantasy. However, it will be challenging for Killers of the Flower Moon to surpass Swift's impressive global box office total of $164.78 million.
Based on David Grann’s 2017 novel, Killers of the Flower Moon recounts the enigmatic killings that occurred following the discovery of significant oil reserves on Osage nation’s territory in the early 1920s, along with the subsequent FBI probe into these crimes.
Killers of the Flower Moon has already garnered massive acclaim, with a 92% rating from critics and 85% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
