Will the Monster Success of ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’ Bring Back the Concert Film? It Should

variety.com:

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Hollywood loves to repeat success, and now more than ever it needs to. If there’s a promising way to draw people into movie theaters that the industry doesn’t capitalize on, it will only be colluding in the decay of its own future.

So when I came out of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” having experienced, for the first time in a while, what it was like a share a concert film with an ecstatic audience, one of my first thoughts was, “How could they do this again?” You might say that’s a silly question, since it has one obvious answer: They can’t.

There is only one Taylor Swift, the most epic global pop superstar since the Michael Jackson of the “Thriller” era. And there is only one Taylor Swift fan base.

Until “The Eras Tour,” no concert movie in history has made this kind of money (though “Woodstock,” which took in $34.5 million in 1970 dollars, came closer than you might think).
