Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film had sold more than $100 million in advance tickets globally as of today, according to AMC Theatres Distribution and AMC Entertainment as the film is set to open at close to 8,500 theatres across 100 countries in a week.

Audience demand “has been incredible” across the U.S., AMC said, “from the largest cities to the smallest towns,” dominating large screen formats.




The Sam Wrench-directed movie of the blockbuster tour opens October 13 at 6 p.m. local time. AMC has said that the most anticipated movie on the fall theatrical release calendar will be holding a world premiere event October 11 in Los Angeles.

Deadline had reported in late Sept. that Eras Tour hit tracking with a $100M-$125M opening-weekend outlook.




The tsunami of a film that has broken the record for concert film ticket sales was announced August 31. It gave a massive boost to exhibition at a time when Hollywood strikes were forcing release schedule changes.

The WGA has settled but the actors are still on strike and although talks are ongoing it’s not clear when SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP will reach a settlement. The box office has struggled without actors out promoting their films.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film racked up an estimated $95 million to $97 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, making it the highest-grossing domestic release of a concert film, according to estimates from AMC Theaters.

The film also earned an estimated $31 million to $33 million internationally over the weekend, putting the estimated total global earnings at $126 million to $130 million, according to AMC.



The total earnings for the film — largely a recorded version of August concerts at SoFi Stadium outside Los Angeles — remain unclear. “Without clear comparisons, Sunday box office projections remain a range,” the theater chain said in a statement.

Official figures are expected to be released Monday.
