The pop superstar’s concert film opened in theaters with early screenings on Oct. 12 and hit cinemas nationwide on Oct. 13

The pop superstar’s concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour arrived in theaters on Oct. 12 and pulled massive crowds opening weekend. According to distributor AMC Theatres, the movie brought in $92.8 million in ticket sales over its three-day debut period and Thursday night previews, making it the fifth-biggest opening of any theatrical release this year.

AMC Theatre announced its final opening weekend box office tally of the film version of the career-spanning Eras Tour from the pop superstar, 33, on Monday. Playing across 3,855 cinemas nationwide, The Eras Tour opened to a per screen average of $24,073, earned $37.5 million on Friday, $32 million on Saturday and $23.2 on Sunday.

The movie, directed by documentarian Sam Wrench, is now No. 1 at the box office in the U.S., Canada, UK, Mexico, Australia, Germany and the Philippines, according to AMC Theatres.

 How Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Film Differs from the Concert, Including Which Songs Were Cut

The concert movie is now the fifth-biggest opening of the year. It follows Greta Gerwig’s hugely successful Barbie movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. (Barbie brought in a three-day haul of $162 million, The Super Mario Bros. Movie debuted with $146 million and Spider-Verse and Guardians of the Galaxy opened with $120 million and $118 million, respectively, per Box Office Mojo). It beats out Oppenheimer, which opened at $82 million and arrived in theaters in tandem with Barbie.

While the film was originally scheduled to open on Oct. 13, Swift announced at the premiere event in Los Angeles on Wednesday that it would hit theaters one day earlier. On that Thursday night alone — which superseded the first date that many fans purchased advanced tickets for — Variety reported that the film brought in $2.8 million.

The new release also broke a major box office record in the concert film genre. Because Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour opened at $92.8 million, it became the highest-grossing concert film of all time. Over just its opening weekend, the film surpassed Justin Bieber’s 2011 documentary Never Say Never, which earned $73 million domestically throughout its run, per Box Office Mojo.

According to Variety, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour technically became the highest-grossing concert film in history before it even arrived in theaters. Thanks to advance global ticket sales that amounted to $100 million, the project brought it $1 million more than Justin Bieber: Never Say Never’s $99 million total global earnings.

Because Swift cut a deal with AMC Entertainment to release The Eras Tour instead of a traditional studio, the box office numbers are particularly a successful financial win for the star. According to Matthew Belloni, who first reported the terms of Swift’s theatrical deal in his Puck newsletter, 43 percent of the movie’s gross profits will go to theaters, and the remaining 57 percent will be shared (in an undetermined split) by Swift and AMC.

As soon as tickets went on sale in early September, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour accomplished several feats. The film broke an all-time record for single-day AMC advance ticket sales and became Fandango’s best first-day ticket seller of the year so far.

No other major new releases hit theaters this past weekend against Swift’s theatrical event, in part because The Exorcist: Believer previously pushed up its release date one week earlier to Oct. 6.

When the horror movie sequel announced its shift in schedule back in August, producer Jason Blum revealed the news by posting on X (formerly known as Twitter) with a nod to one of the singer-songwriter’s lyrics. “Look what you made me do,” he wrote. “The Exorcist: Believer moves to 10/6/23” #TaylorWins.”

Swift herself celebrated the release at the the Grove’s AMC theater in L.A. Wednesday. She stepped out in a blue Oscar De La Renta gown made of textured floral cutouts and was joined by a handful of celebrity guests, including Beyoncé.

The theatrical concert experience is currently being shown at cinemas nationwide four times a day on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Tickets for the film cost $19.89 (plus tax) for adults and $13.13 (plus tax) for kids and seniors, in a nod to the Grammy winner’s birth date and year.

It is unclear how long the nearly three-hour film will be in theaters, although AMC is currently selling tickets through Nov. 5.
