Taylor Swift Conquers Box Office as Showgirl Hits $46 Million Globally, One Battle After Another Crosses $100 Million Benchmark

Taylor Swift‘s The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, a cinematic complement to the pop star’s 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, sauntered to No. 1 at the worldwide box office with an estimated $46 million over the weekend.
Those ticket sales — including $13 million from 54 international territories as well as $33 million domestically — represent a massive turnout for a release that wasn’t on anyone’s radar until a few weeks ago.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s action comedy One Battle After Another surpassed the $100 million mark in its second weekend of release. The Warner Bros. film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, has earned $58.9 million internationally and $101.7 million globally to date.
That’s an impressive tally for an original, R-rated adventure with a nearly three-hour runtime. And it’s now the highest-grossing film ever for Anderson, overtaking 2007’s There Will Be Blood ($76.4 million, not adjusted for inflation).
The Conjuring: Last Rites hit a major box office milestone, crossing the $450 million mark.
The ninth entry in the paranormal series, which already stood as the highest-grossing entry, has generated a scary-good $290 million overseas and $458.2 million globally.
Avatar: The Way of Water swam back to the big screen and earned $6.8 million overseas and $10 million globally over the weekend.
Disney re-released the blockbuster sequel to generate excitement for the third installment, Avatar: Fire and Ash, which debuts theatrically in December.
