Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ Concert Movie Passes $250 Million in Worldwide Grosses

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert movie has crossed the $250 million mark in worldwide ticket sales according to distributor AMC Theatres. The Hollywood Reporter said those impressive numbers mean the three-hour-plus musical extravaganza that has found Swifties singing and dancing in the aisles across the planet ranks among the top 20 biggest films of the year.

And, as previously reported, it cements Swift’s film as the highest-grossing concert movie of all time.


The Eras Tour movie wrapped up the Thanksgiving weekend with a total of $178.2 million in grosses in North America to date, as well as $71.8 million overseas. The concert film is currently at No. 19 on the global chart of top-grossing films of 2023, just behind The Nun II ($268 million), and at No. 11 domestically, behind the controversial anti-human trafficking film Sound of Freedom ($184.2 million) and John Wick: Chapter Four ($187.1 million).

The Eras Tour movie will be back in theaters this Thursday (Nov. 30). On Monday (Nov. 27), the singer announced that she will celebrate her upcoming 34th birthday by bringing the film to at-home on-demand. Swifties will also get some bonus content for their home viewing, as the epic chronicle of the singer’s career-retrospective tour will hit home screens in an expanded version featuring three songs not featured in theaters: “Wildest Dreams,” “The Archer” and “Long Live.”

The movie will be available to rent on-demand in the U.S., Canada and additional countries that will be announced soon on Dec. 13. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour opened in October with more than $92.8 million in grosses, instantly becoming the top-grossing concert film in history after just one weekend.

Swift just wrapped a South American run of Eras shows and will take some time off from the road before returning on Feb. 7 for a run of four shows at the Tokyo Dome in Japan before moving on to Australia.

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
