Box Office: Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ Concert Film Dazzles With Estimated $95 Million to $97 Million Opening Weekend

variety.com:

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Long live the new box office queen. After selling out stadiums across the country, Taylor Swift is filling movie theaters with “The Eras Tour” concert film, which ignited to estimates of $95 million to $97 million over the weekend.

Studios typically report a firmer number at this point, but “without clear comparisons, Sunday box office projections remain a range,” the film’s official distributor AMC Theatres said in a note to press.

Rivals have suggested the final tally could be closer to $94 million. It’s still a remarkable start for a concert film that was announced just six weeks ago and landed on the big screen with minimal promotion outside of a few social media posts by Swift, who has more than 350 million Instagram and Twitter followers.

During its first weekend in theaters, “The Eras Tour” became the highest-grossing concert film in domestic box office history, surpassing the entire $73 million run of “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” in 2011.
