Global music icon Taylor Swift is making waves in the entertainment industry, not just with her chart-topping tracks, but now with her "Eras Tour" film.
What Happened: Scheduled for a theatrical release on Oct. 13, 2024, the film's pre-sale tickets have set the cash registers ringing.
Following the release of the pre-sale tickets on Aug. 31, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE: AMC) experienced an unparalleled demand. In a mere span of three hours, sales skyrocketed to $26 million, The Verge reported.
The previous record of $16.9 million was held by "Spider-Man: No Way Home." Given the overwhelming response, AMC indicated the addition of more screenings.
During its run at AMC, the Eras Tour concert film will play at least four showtimes on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at every theater location in the U.S.
