After a Hollywood premiere on October 11th, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is set to open in more than 8,500 theaters globally on October 13.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert movie has already passed $100 million at the box office in advanced ticket sales.
The new Taylor Swift movie is expected to have an opening take of $100 million to $125 million in North America alone, and the global numbers are likely to be equally staggering. The film adaptation of Swift’s incredibly popular world tour will be opening in some 100 countries, thanks to a major agreement between AMC Theaters Distribution, Variance Films, Trafalgar Releasing, Cinepolis, and Cineplex. According to AMC, the Swift film is part of an overall uptick in advance ticket sales across the United States, especially for event films like those in Dolby Cinema, Imax, Prime at AMC, and other specialty film destinations and large-screen formats.
The release of the Taylor Swift movie comes as her Eras tour continues to break world attendance records, bring in unprecedented concert tour revenue, and connect with a truly frenzied fan base around the world.
Of the 8,500 screens on which the Taylor Swift movie will be appearing globally, around 4,000 of those will be in North America through AMC Theaters Distribution. Demand for Swift concert tickets has remained incredibly high, leading to the less-than-surprising presale numbers generated by fans looking to beat the rush. After its opening weekend, the film will be playing only on Thursdays through Sundays, with advance tickets currently available for the opening weekend and weekends to follow.
Regal Cinemas, Cinemark, and AMC will all be showing Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie in the United States, with AMC premiering the film at all of its U.S. locations at 6:00 p.m. local time on October 13. Meanwhile, Cineplex will be carrying the film in Canada and Mexican distribution will be handled by Cinepolis. The world premiere screening of the film in Los Angeles October 11th will be an AMC screening.
Putting the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie in perspective, it’s already grossed over a third of Indiana Jones and the Dail of Destiny’s total worldwide box office.
The release of the Taylor Swift movie comes as her Eras tour continues to break world attendance records, bring in unprecedented concert tour revenue, and connect with a truly frenzied fan base around the world. Covering ten ages and stages of Swift’s career and boasting a set list of some 44 songs, the tour has been a massive draw for music fans across the United States. Beginning in March of this year and still ongoing, the tour shows no signs of losing any momentum, with the film surely only boosting attention and sales around the world.
The Taylor Swift movie is arriving roughly a month before the end of the U.S. leg of the Eras tour, which will start its journey across the rest of the world this November. Beginning in Argentina, the tour is scheduled to go through numerous countries, including France, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and Canada. In countries outside the U.S., the film will likely only increase the draw of the concert tour, with fans around the world lining up to buy tickets to see the global superstar in person.
