Taylor Swift just saved the box office (again)

To say that Taylor Swift is a big star, it looks like a humiliating underestimation. At this stage, Swift itself as a huge generation star, as she joined the ranks of the largest pop stars in all ages. Example of this: For the second time, Swift has passed to save the box office from what could have been a grim weekend low -level thanks to the “Official Issue Ceremony for the Show”.

When playing in theaters for only three days, the plays released album for “The Life Of A Showgirl” was pulled at $ 33 million locally in its appearance for the first time. It also set out to another $ 13 million abroad for a total of $ 46 million worldwide. This is not bad at all, given this “The official issuance party has not been announced,” until late September. But it didn’t take long until Swifties could fill around the movie.

It is not a completely narrative movie and not a musical experience, the promise of the exclusive world world’s concert, “Fate of Ofelia”, along with scenes behind the scenes from filming the music video, the new lyrical videos, and the personal ideas of Swift on songs from the twelfth studio album. The fact that something without the full theatrical production value has gained this interest, with one word, impressive.

At the same time, it should not be a great shock. “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” for 2023 has achieved approximately $ 250 million worldwideHelping to provide what could have been a dark fall season. But that gave the fans an opportunity to see “The Eras Tour” without paying the maximum prices that were the actual party tickets. What draws attention to this last trick is that Swift has gathered the base of its fans about something fairly less exciting. She talks about volumes about her position in the broadest cultural field now.

There were some losses along the way. Dwayne Johnson from A24 from the Dwayne Johnson starring to only $ 6 million, Which was much lower than the box office expectations before the release in the movie. But theaters were happier in getting quick money, even if it came at the expense of the rock to some extent. He tells Johnson, a huge star, was not identical to Swift.

With the box office on unconfirmed land, the stage chains were more than happy to welcome the new Swift movie, even if they had to book it at the last minute. AMC theaters once again distributed the movie directly, Just as the series did with the “Tour Tour”. This decision disturbed the Hollywood studios, but it also speaks to Swift’s authority. It does not need Hollywood. It can cut the middle man. This is not something that many artists can say.

Even among other great artists, it is not a competition when it comes to box office. “The Renaissance” of Bou Bouonce achieved a very respectable amount all over the world in 2023. But this is diminished compared to what the “Tour Tour” made. Metallica is one of the largest rock bands in the world, But his music movie “Through Never” was a big bomb in 2013. The launch ceremony for “72 seasons” in Metallica in 2023 was also a theatrical launch, however, it achieved less than a million dollars worldwide (a small part of the last Swift version).

Two of two things. First, the theater chains and the Hollywood chains are likely to continue compatible with pop stars to generate music -based theatrical events. It is good to work. Second, Swift really confirmed itself as one of the largest stars – if not the largest star – on this planet at the present time. This is difficult to deny.

“The life of the mattress” is outside now.
