Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has reached a significant milestone, surpassing the $250 million mark in global box office earnings. With its seventh weekend numbers now tallied, the concert film has achieved remarkable success both domestically and internationally. The split between the two markets stands at over $178.2 million in the United States and $71.8 million from the international box office.
A Phenomenal Domestic Performance
The concert film, which holds the distinction of being the highest-grossing concert film ever domestically, made its worldwide debut in mid-October. It had a stellar opening in North America, raking in an impressive $92.8 million. This makes it the second-best domestic start for October, following the success of “Joker.” It is worth noting that this achievement is even more remarkable considering the film’s relatively low production cost, estimated between $10 million and $20 million.
Successful International Rollout
Upon its international release, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour generated $30.7 million from 94 markets, playing in 4,527 venues. This contributed to a strong global bow of $123.5 million. The film continued to perform well over subsequent weekends, adding $2.3 million domestically and $1.1 million in 36 overseas markets in its latest frame. As of now, it ranks as the 10th highest-grossing film of the year domestically and the 19th among U.S. films worldwide.
A Triumph for Miss Americana
