Taylor
Swift
continues
to
beat
records
at
the
box
office.
The
pop
star’s
Eras
Tour
concert
film
snared
$31
million
during
its
second
weekend
in
theaters,
the
most
of
any
concert
film
at
the
domestic
box
office.
The
weekend
figure
is
a
66%
drop
from
its
first
weekend,
which
is
on
par
with
blockbuster
hits
from
Marvel,
DC
and
Star
Wars.
“Swifties
came
back
in
force
to
give
Eras
Tour
a
strong
first
encore
weekend
at
the
box
office,”
said
Shawn
Robbins,
chief
media
analyst
at
BoxOffice.com.
“The
film
continues
to
shatter
concert
movie
records
as
it
brings
to
theaters
much-needed
foot
traffic
during
a
fourth
quarter
impacted
by
Hollywood’s
labor
strikes.”
With
just
Thursday’s
ticket
sales,
which
tallied
just
under
$6
million,
Swift
was
also
able
to
snare
more
than
$100
million
in
the
U.S.
and
Canada,
making
her
film
the
first
to
do
so.
In
total,
the
Eras
Tour
film
has
secured
an
estimated
$129.8
million
at
the
domestic
box
office.
AMC,
which
distributed
the
film,
is
set
to
update
international
figures
on
Monday.
If
Swift’s
film
passes
$262.5
million
before
the
end
of
its
run
in
November,
it
will
be
the
highest-grossing
global
concert
movie
of
all
time,
beating
2009′s
“Michael
Jackson’s
This
Is
It.”
“As
non-traditional
releases
go,
the
Taylor
Swift
Eras
Tour
movie
is
a
much
welcome
addition
to
this
October
movie
marketplace
and
what
would
otherwise be
a
rather
quiet
corridor
has
already
received
a
nice
$130
million
overall
boost
from
this
unique
concert
film
release,”
said
Paul
Dergarabedian,
senior
media
analyst
at
Comscore.
Already,
the
Eras
Tour
concert
film
has
had
the
widest
domestic
release
for
a
concert
film
(opening
in
more
than
3,850
locations)
and
the
highest
opening
weekend
domestically
for
a
concert
film,
surpassing
Miley
Cyrus’
“Best
of
Both
Worlds
Concert”
from
2008,
which
snared
$31.1
million
during
its
domestic
debut,
according
to
data
from
Comscore.
“The
Swift
film
demonstrates
how
outside-of-the-box
thinking
and
innovation
can
lead
to
unexpected outcomes
and
an
enhancement
of
the
bottom
line
while
offering
guidance
of
how
such
alternative
content
is
able
to
fill
those
quieter
spots
often
left
on
the
movie
release
calendar,”
said
Dergarabedian.
