A Stellar Start
Before its cinematic debut, Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" is making waves. According to AMC Theatres, the film has already chalked up an astonishing $100 million from worldwide advance ticket sales. And, to be clear, these aren’t just sales from AMC cinemas but from theaters everywhere.
Snagging Your Seat
For Swifties who haven’t yet grabbed a ticket, they're still up for grabs on Fandango.com. And with the film set to roll out in a whopping 8,500 theaters across 100 countries, there's no shortage of opportunities to catch this sensation.

Box Office Predictions: Sky High
Analysts have their eyes peeled. Given the film’s rocketing pre-launch momentum, some are forecasting that "Eras Tour" might rake in more than $100 million just in North America over its opening weekend. For context, this would place it shoulder to shoulder with some of 2023's biggest hits, including movies like "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3."
Breaking the Mold
From day one, "Eras Tour" has been setting the pace. It set a new single-day ticket sales record for AMC Theatres in North America, with a jaw-dropping $26 million. This toppled the previous champ, "Spider-Man: No Way Home." It's also worth noting that premium screens, like Imax and Dolby Cinema, are seeing a particularly strong pull, per AMC's reports.
AMC Going All In
Every AMC venue across the U.S. is clearing the decks for "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour." Fans can expect to see it on the big screen at least four times a day from Thursday to Sunday. Furthermore, AMC isn't stopping at its own theaters. They’re in talks to spread this Taylor extravaganza to as many screens worldwide as possible.
In a nutshell, "Eras Tour" isn't just a film; it's a phenomenon. It stands as a testament to Taylor Swift’s mammoth influence, transcending music to stamp her mark on the silver screen.
