Variety reports that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour's box office records now include the highest-grossing concert movie ever released, with earnings exceeding $261.6 million worldwide, surpassing the previous record holder, Michael Jackson's This Is It. The movie only opened in China last week, indicating a potential for further growth in box office numbers.
The Reasons Behind the Success
The success of Taylor Swift's concert film, The Eras Tour, can be attributed to various factors. Upon its release, the movie became the highest-grossing concert film domestically during its opening weekend, a record that has now extended to its worldwide performance, showcasing the global popularity of Swift’s music.
The limited availability of the movie in theaters, playing only on Thursdays through Sundays, has contributed to its strong performance. This scheduling ensures the film's prominence during the weekend, when more potential attendees have the time to experience the on-screen performance.
In addition, the movie's success is further fueled by Taylor Swift's career resurgence as she re-records her older albums amid a dispute over ownership. The theme of The Eras Tour aligns with these ongoing re-releases, providing fans with an opportunity to support her music. With the singer’s continued popularity and the film's ongoing availability in theaters, its box office performance is expected to continue to climb.
The Future and Swift's Career
As Taylor Swift re-releases her older music, she continues to produce new albums, such as 2022's Midnights, demonstrating her enduring creativity and relevance in the music industry. The success of The Eras Tour, coupled with her ongoing musical endeavors, solidifies her position as a powerhouse in the music world.
