Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Taylor Swift‘s “Eras Tour” concert film is projected to open to $100 million at the domestic box office, but the final weekend number will likely be much bigger. The movie, a cinematic rendering of the pop star’s record-breaking, three-hour stadium tour, looks to generate up to $125 million from approximately 3,850 theaters in North America, according to early estimates. It’s also expected to add $30 million to $50 million from 4,150 venues internationally in more than 90 countries for a global start upwards of $150 to 175 million.
These are rarified ticket sales for not just a concert film, but any non-franchise movie or sequel in this era. It would be the only film in October, the first since July and the sixth of the year, to hit triple digits in its domestic debut. Unlike most nationwide releases, which begin playing in theaters on Thursday afternoons, “Eras Tour” won’t officially open until Friday at 6 p.m.
However, her numerically loaded prices ($19.89 for adults, $13.13 for kids and seniors) are more expensive than the nation’s average ticket price. Naturally, it’s not deterring any Swifties. By last Thursday, “Eras Tour” had surpassed $100 million in advance ticket sales worldwide (which includes domestic and international), according to its official distributor AMC Theatres.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour topped the US box office for a second week, seeing off competition from Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon.According to Deadline, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour took $32million (£25.5m) in its second weekend in the region, a 67 per cent drop. Globally, film has taken $164.8million following its release on October 12 in the US across AMC theatres and October 13 in other territories.Killers Of The Flower Moon, meanwhile, took $23million (£18.9m) in its opening weekend at the US box office, which is the third best opening for Scorsese, following 2010’s Shutter Island ($41m) and The Departed ($26.9m) in 2006.Scorsese’s film, however, topped the worldwide box office with $44million (£36.2m), with Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour slipping to second with $41.5million (£34.1m) globally in its second week (via Screen Daily).While Scorsese’s latest film may struggle to become profitable against its estimated $200million budget, the opening numbers are considered a success due to its lengthy 206-minute running time and the fact it’s a period movie skewed towards adults.Killers Of The Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone, is also set to release on Apple TV+ at an unconfirmed date.In a five-star review, NME wrote: “Each conversation between De Niro and DiCaprio is an exercise in clever euphemism and while some may find the tempo a bit too stately, the story of an entire people’s eradication deserves to be told in full.
