Stellar Snippets
Not just Swifties, even movie theaters cannot wait for the Oct. 13 release of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Just for the profits? Think again.
The film compiles different Swift shows at the SoFi Stadium in Southern California. Advance ticket sales have already crossed $100 million.
The unique experience for Swifties watching the concert film includes taking selfies, dancing, and sporting friendship bracelets during the show!
Concert films are not new, but stars Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have made a first-of-their-kind deal directly with AMC Theaters.
The shows bring hope as theaters have become less popular since studios began to prefer streaming services over movie theaters.
These concert film deals bypass Hollywood studios, and for now, will be available for the theater-goers first before streaming audiences.
The Swift and Beyonce shows may signal an evolution as theaters experiment with hosting visual media forms other than films.
The film will run for 13 weeks following a Los Angeles premiere. Ticket sales are to be split 43% with theaters and 57% between Swift and AMC.
