Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film surpasses expectations at the box office, securing a spot at the top of the domestic charts for the second consecutive weekend. The unconventional film has garnered rave reviews, boasting a remarkable 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a perfect A+ CinemaScore from opening day audiences.
The Eras Tour’s success is a testament to Swift’s incredible career, as the film celebrates her various “eras” and features live performances of many of her hit songs. With a cumulative global haul of $165 million, the film has already surpassed $150 million, with $130 million coming from domestic theaters and approximately $35 million from overseas markets.
In a remarkable feat, the film has bypassed the need for traditional studio involvement, instead being distributed directly by AMC and Cinemark theater chains. This unorthodox approach has allowed the film to maintain its momentum, with plans to play for three more weekends before beginning its second leg of the global rollout on November 3.
While other films, such as Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, struggled to make an impact at the box office, The Eras Tour continued to attract audiences and rake in the cash. With a global haul of $42 million, the film has solidified its position as a major box office success.

With such widespread acclaim, it’s no surprise that the film has managed to break through the noise and become the top-performing film at the box office for the second consecutive weekend.
As the film continues to roll out around the world, it’s likely that Swift’s devoted fan base will fuel its continued success. The Eras Tour has already set a record for a concert film, and it’s clear that the film’s momentum will only continue to grow. With its unique distribution model and Swift’s incredible talent, the film has all the ingredients necessary to become a major box office phenomenon.
