If even the Federal Reserve recognizes this, there will be a reason for Taylor Swift to revive the US economy (and part of the global economy). And data continues to emerge that proves this to be true and that the 33-year-old singer from Pennsylvania turns everything she touches into gold. And now it’s the turn of the film-concert documentary, which will be released on October 13th and contains a summary of the Eras Tour, his successful world tour. As the cinema chain AMC announced this Thursday, Swift has already sold tickets worth 100 million dollars worldwide.
The data provided by the chain is from the previous day, October 4th, so there are still nine days left until the theatrical release; That means there are still a lot of tickets to be sold. The bet is very big, especially on the screens of North America and especially the United States. Specifically, AMC – Swift’s ally of this release and her distributor in this country – has announced that it will show the singer’s concert film four times on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, i.e. the weekend of its premiere.

Hurricane Swift will be felt so strongly in theaters that several films have decided to postpone their release, pushing the news until a week later. Such is the case with the long-awaited new title from Meg Ryan, who also directs and stars alongside David Duchovny: What Happens Later; or Freelance, the comedy by John Cena, as well as The Exorcist: Believer, the new part of The Exorcist that was released on Friday the 13th, was perfect. But the fear of Taylor Swift surpasses the fear of Halloween.
On August 31, after completing the first North American leg of her tour (the 53 shows that took her from Arizona to Los Angeles and toured throughout the United States, plus the four in Mexico City), Swift announced that the tour with The Eras Tour would gross a billion dollars worldwide on November 13th, also thanks to the more than 100 concerts that will take place worldwide starting in November. And even then, it received an enormous number of tickets, becoming the premiere with the most tickets sold before the creation of the entire AMC chain – the largest in the United States and the world, with 10,000 screens around the world – in its 103 years of existence . Story. On September 26th, the artist announced that this film about the tour would finally be shown on the same day in countries where she had not yet arrived with her live concerts.
According to AMC, this concert film directed by Sam Wrench (whose idea came from Swift’s boss and her team, without any major production companies, distributors or platforms behind it) can be seen in 8,500 cinemas in 100 countries. This is less the case at the moment, since they claim to be “taking steps to reach agreements with more operators around the world to showcase this Taylor Swift masterpiece.” Ticket prices were set by Swift herself: $19.89 for general admission; 13.13 the reduced price (in Mexico 198.90 and 131.3 pesos). Quite fitting for the artist’s fetish dates: her birthday is December 13, 1989.
The Pennsylvania artist’s tour is one of the largest ever. He will perform more than 160 concerts – if not more, as he has already extended the tour a dozen times – across the United States and the rest of America (Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Canada, where the tour ends in November). lead 2024) and also throughout Asia and Europe, with almost 80 shows in these territories. According to Bloomberg, he earns around 13 million dollars per concert and in total, thanks to them, he will earn about a thousand dollars. Added to this are the many ticket sales. In late September, even before it was known that the film would be seen outside North America, trade publication The Hollywood Reporter estimated that it could gross more than $100 million in its first weekend. A figure that, like everyone that Taylor Swift touches with her golden wand, has quickly become small.
