Billie Eilish has announced the global release date for her upcoming concert film, revealing the news onstage during the final night of her sold-out Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour in San Francisco on Sunday.

The film, arriving March 20, 2026, will be distributed worldwide by Paramount Pictures in partnership with Darkroom Records, Interscope Films and Lightstorm Earth. It is presented in 3D and directed by two Academy Award winners: James Cameron — most recently recognized for Avatar: Fire and Ash — and Eilish herself.


Captured during the singer’s extensive 2024–25 world tour, the film documents performances behind her third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 earlier this year and produced the top-10 Hot 100 hit “Lunch.” The tour, which spanned North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Oceania, sold out multiple arena and stadium dates, including several two-night runs in major cities.

Eilish shared the announcement in a video posted to Instagram following the San Francisco show, paired with a new image featuring her and Cameron, shot by photographer Henry Hwu. Additional official stills were distributed on Sunday night.

The project continues a long run of visual releases from Eilish, who previously helmed her 2021 Disney+ concert special Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles and starred in the 2021 documentary Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry. Her shift into co-directing a 3D theatrical release marks her most ambitious visual project to date.

Eilish, a two-time Oscar winner, nine-time Grammy winner and one of streaming’s most dominant global artists, remains a fixture across Billboard charts. As of this week, she places multiple tracks from Hit Me Hard and Soft on the Billboard Hot 100 and continues her multiyear streak on the Billboard Artist 100.

Paramount will announce international rollout details, premium formats and theater lists closer to release. Promotional materials — including trailer and key art — are expected to follow in early 2026.

Executive of the Week: FACTOR's Meg Symsyk on Why Supporting Canadian Music Means Supporting Cultural Sovereignty

The president and CEO of FACTOR, one of Canada's most crucial music funders, explains why it's more important than ever to support homegrown culture and give it the opportunity to compete on the global stage.

When it comes to supporting Canadian music, FACTOR's influence is immeasurable. One of the most crucial funders of art in the country, the non-profit's impact is seen with its logo across countless acclaimed records and its name shouted out at concerts and award shows. But for president & CEO Meg Symsyk, it's not just about supporting Canadian music or even Canadian artists: it's about the sovereignty and identity of the country itself.

“Buying locally is more important than ever because of that consumer awareness and structural support. Canadians need to be encouraged to be more intentional. This last year and a half with the tariffs and the trade wars has put that on everyone's front burner,” she explains.
