Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour Movie Passes Major Box Office Milestone

Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has been in theaters for over a month now, providing moviegoers with an unprecedented look at Swift’s ongoing concert tour. With the film’s December 13th digital release date on the horizon, the concert movie has already earned another impressive badge of honor. As of Monday, November 27th, The Eras Tour movie has grossed more than $250 million at the global box office, with $178.2 million domestically, and $71.8 million internationally.

The Eras Tour movie, which is already the highest-grossing concert movie of all time, is now the 19th highest-grossing worldwide release of all of 2023.

What Is Taylor Swift’s Movie About?

Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour is a filmed version of Swift’s landmark Eras Tour, which completed its first U.S. leg in August. Filmed across three nights of shows in Los Angeles’ Sofi Stadium, the film will showcase Swift’s performance of songs from all ten of her albums — Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, reputation, Lover, folklore, evermore, and Midnights. In celebration of the movie’s release, AMC upgraded its ticket-booking capacity by five times to account for fan demand. It also priced standard adult tickets at $19.89 — a reference to the year Swift was born, as well as her fifth album 1989 — with children’s and senior tickets at $13.13, which is a reference to Swift’s lucky number.

“The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon,” Swift wrote when announcing the film on social media. “Starting Oct 13th you’ll be able to experience the concert film in theaters in North America! …Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged 1, 2, 3 LGB!!!! (iykyk)”

Is Taylor Swift Directing a Movie?

In addition to Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, it was announced in late 2022 that Swift will direct a feature film for Searchlight Pictures. The currently-untitled film is based on a script written by Swift, but additional details have not been made public amid Swift’s busy schedule, as well as the recent Hollywood strikes.

“Taylor has not consulted me about upcoming directing projects, but I think she has the makings of a hell of a director,” Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy revealed in a recent interview. “Taylor, the depth of her vision for how she wants a creative piece to be, whether it’s a lyric, a melody, a bridge, a concert tour, a video — it’s profound. It’s profoundly vivid and she has the strength of her convictions. Spielberg was on the set of a movie he produced that I directed, called ‘Real Steel,’ and I said to him, ‘How do you know it’s the right shot?’ His answer was, ‘The way you see it, that makes it right.’ I feel like that’s something Taylor Swift has figured out really well, because that’s about trusting your instinct.”
