Taylor Swift Concert Film Shatters Box Office Records, Could Rake in $100M

Summary

Taylor Swift's concert movie, The Eras Tour, is dominating the box office, with presales already surpassing $65 million and aiming for a projected $100 million gross.

Swift's popularity as a recording artist has sparked an unprecedented demand for her live shows. The concert movie now allows a wider audience to witness her captivating performances.

There have been rumors indicating that Swift might team up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Deadpool 3, potentially portraying the character Dazzler. However, scheduling conflicts may present a challenge in making this collaboration a reality.

Presales for the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert movie have already exceeded $65 million, significantly outperforming recent hits from Marvel and DC. This success has led other films like The Exorcist: Believer, Dumb Money, and The Marsh King's Daughter to reconsider their October release dates in order to avoid direct competition with Swift. According to Deadline, the concert movie is projected to reach $100 million at the box office, as presales continue to climb. In comparison, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Batman secured presales of $60 million and $42 million respectively. However, Swift has yet to match the impressive presales of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which reached an astonishing $120 million in 2021.

Why Taylor Swift’s Popularity Might Be A Boon For The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Starting her musical career at the young age of 14, Swift has evolved into one of the most influential artists of our time. She consistently breaks sales and streaming records with her album releases, creating an unprecedented demand for concert tickets. While many of her fans were unable to secure seats to watch her live, her upcoming concert movie will give a wider audience the opportunity to witness her incredible performances.

Nevertheless, there are widespread rumors that Swift might team up with the superhero franchise in Deadpool 3, proving her prowess not only in the music industry but also in the realm of box office dominance, rivaling even Marvel. Although these rumors currently lack evidence, many viewers are suggesting that the singer would be the ideal choice to portray Dazzler, an X-Men character who possesses mutant abilities and is also a beloved recording artist in the Marvel universe. In the 2019 film X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Dazzler had a brief appearance, with the role played by Halston Sage.

Deadpool 2 has successfully enlisted artists like Celine Dion to create memorable title tracks in the past. It is highly likely that they would be able to convince Taylor Swift to make a cameo appearance. However, this may pose scheduling difficulties since Swift's worldwide tour is not expected to end until November of next year. Nevertheless, Swift's devoted fans, known as Swifties, can still anticipate the release of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert movie in October.
