Summary

The Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert documentary, directed by Sam Wrench, has achieved a massive box office record, grossing over $200 million worldwide.

Having crossed the $200 million mark, The Eras Tour joins an exclusive group of only 20 films this year to accomplish this impressive box office milestone.

The concert documentary Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, directed by Sam Wrench, has achieved yet another impressive box office record. This film version of the pop superstar's tour has a lengthy run time of 169 minutes. Throughout her Eras Tour, which will continue until November 2024, Swift delivers a memorable concert experience by showcasing various mini-sets that pay homage to different significant periods in her career.

According to Variety, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has reached a significant milestone in its third weekend at the box office. With an additional $14.7 million in domestic earnings, the cumulative worldwide gross of the movie has now exceeded $203 million, officially surpassing the $200 million mark. This achievement is noteworthy for any film, and The Eras Tour is the 20th movie of the year to accomplish this feat, ranking just below The Nun II, which has earned a total of $263.8 million.

How Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Compares To Other Concert Movies

The Eras Tour shattered records in the concert documentary genre by earning over $100 million, and eventually reaching the remarkable milestone of $200 million. Prior to this extraordinary achievement, the highest-grossing concert movie was Justin Bieber's Never Say Never in 2011, which generated $99 million worldwide. It was then followed by Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert in 2008 ($70.7 million), and One Direction: This Is Us in 2013 ($68.2 million).

The Eras Tour release has yet to catch up with only one previous movie, Michael Jackson's This Is It, a documentary released after his death in 2009. While it cannot be classified as a concert documentary since it comprises backstage footage of a concert that never happened, it is the only other movie that has earned more than Taylor Swift's documentary. This Is It not only holds the record for the highest-grossing music movie but also the highest-grossing documentary of all time, with a global box office earnings of $261 million. Therefore, The Eras Tour still has a long way to go before it can claim that title.

Even if The Eras Tour cannot surpass the total earnings of This Is It, it has still achieved an impressive feat. However, it remains uncertain how long it can hold onto this record. Beyoncé's upcoming concert documentary, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, which showcases a massive tour that took place this summer, is set to premiere on December 1 and could potentially surpass Taylor Swift's documentary due to Beyoncé's worldwide superstardom.
