Songstress Scores Massive International Release

Ahead of its US debut, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour scores a gargantuan international release. Chronicling Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour, the movie brings the concert to the big screen, showcasing three performances from the Los Angeles stop. It has already set several records, boasting massive ticket sales in its first 24 hours of pre-sale. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is set for release on October 13.

Now, the concert doc will hit even more screens. As per The Hollywood Reporter, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is now set for a worldwide release in more than 100 countries. The majority of these screenings will start on October 13, with international tickets hitting presale on September 26. Including the international release, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will play in over 7,500 cinemas across the globe.

Taylor Swift Movie Is Set To Be A Major Driver Of The Fall Box Office

This international release plan is huge news for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Not only is the movie expected to make over $100 million domestically, a massive sum for a film of its nature, but now it can expect a higher gross from its global audience. Swift herself is a worldwide pop sensation, so it is likely that fans from all over will turn out for the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie. This could mean even larger returns than the already-impressive predictions, and could propel the film to becoming the highest-grossing concert doc of all time.

The updated plans also mean that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has cemented itself as a formidable force within the fall box office. Scared off by the success of the pre-sale, multiple movies, including The Exorcist: Believer, The Marsh King’s Daughter, and Dumb Money, have pushed their release weekends to clear the way for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. With the movie releasing in over 100 countries, these measures may have to be taken on an international scale so high-profile films do not have to risk losing out to Swift.

The predicted success of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is a good sign not only for the movie itself, but for the fall box office overall. The writers and actors strikes, along with the delays of big-ticket films like Dune: Part Two, have gotten theaters nervous about filling seats. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, if all goes as predicted, could change this narrative for the better and reinvigorate the box office this fall. With its newest release plan, it can do so on an international scale.
