Taylor Swift's Epic Concert Movie Unleashes a Spooky New Internet Sensation

Summary

Taylor Swift's concert doc, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, will premiere in North American theaters on October 13.

The doc will be released on the same day as the movie The Exorcist: Believer.

The simultaneous release has sparked excitement online, resulting in the mashup hashtag #Exorswift.

Taylor Swift's upcoming concert documentary, "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour," is scheduled to be released in North American theaters on October 13. Interestingly, this coincides with the release date of Blumhouse's sequel, "The Exorcist: Believer." This convergence has sparked a new trend in the form of a Barbenheimer-style mashup meme. The term "Barbenheimer" was coined previously when Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" and Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" were set to premiere in the same weekend, resulting in double features and impressive box office results due to the star-studded cast and diverse film styles. Now, fans are excitedly sharing their own mashup creations under the hashtag #Exorswift. Join in the fun and explore some of these posts on social media!

Nick Henderson called Exorswift "#Barbenheimer the sequel..."

Agents of Fandom asked "are you ready for The ExorSwift?"

Jason Blum simply shared the hashtag "#Exorswift."

Victor Jacobo said that "we could totally do another #Barbenheimer situation if we wanted to."

Mike Calia said that "Barbenheimer is so yesterday. Meet Exorswift."

Can Any New Movie Mashup Be As Successful as Barbenheimer?

Barbenheimer was an unparalleled phenomenon, where the synergy between social media buzz and genuine movie interest reached an unprecedented level. The outcome was undeniable, with Barbie and Oppenheimer ranking as the second and fourth highest-grossing movies of the year worldwide. As a result, studios and social media meme creators are now in pursuit of the next viral double feature to ignite the internet.

However, it remains uncertain whether any Barbenheimer successors will be able to achieve the same level of popularity. Other potential mashups that emerged in the weeks following the release of Barbenheimer on July 21 have already shown signs of fading. This includes Saw Patrol, a mashup inspired by the simultaneous release of PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and Saw X on September 29.

However, what made Barbenheimer truly magical was its ability to attract audiences from similar demographics, despite the apparent differences between the movies. This is not the case with Saw Patrol. This suggests that Exorswift has the potential to perform even better, as both The Exorcist: Believer and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour specifically target teenagers and millennials. The success of both movies, when released simultaneously in October, remains to be seen. However, there is a possibility that this shared release date could enhance the prospects of both films, even if they are unable to reach the level of success achieved by Barbenheimer.
