AMC Boss Adam Aron has made a promise to release more concert films, and the collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision to release Usher: Rendezvous in Paris on September 12 is highly anticipated. This film, which captures the 8x Grammy winner during Paris Fashion week at La Seine Musicale, is set for a limited 4-day weekend global run. With bookings in 2,000 cinemas worldwide, including 1,000 theaters in the U.S., the movie is expected to make a significant impact. The fact that the release date coincided with Trafalgar’s reserved date for an untitled event film suggests a strategic move in the industry.
While the initial concert movie release from AMC, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, was a massive success, grossing $267M globally, the release of Usher: Rendezvous in Paris faces stiff competition. With Warner Bros.’ “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” hitting theatres on September 6, the box office is already buzzing with anticipation. Usher’s film will have to go head-to-head against rival entries like Lionsgate’s “The Killer’s Game” and Blumhouse/Universal’s “Speak No Evil”. These high-profile releases will pose a challenge for Usher’s concert film to make its mark amidst the fierce competition.
Usher: Rendezvous in Paris promises to showcase the 80M record-selling performer’s chart-topping hits spanning his three-decade career. With songs like “Yeah!”, “My Boo”, and “Love In This Club”, the film aims to give fans a front-row experience of his lavish stage performances. Additionally, the movie will offer a documentary-style insight into Usher’s journey, similar to Renaissance. The blend of concert footage and behind-the-scenes storytelling is expected to create a unique viewing experience for audiences worldwide.
Global Screening Details
The worldwide screening details and ticketing for Usher: Rendezvous in Paris will be available on UsherinParis.com on August 6. This advanced announcement aims to build anticipation among fans and generate early buzz for the film’s release. Through this proactive approach, the filmmakers and distributors are set to create a global event around the movie, allowing fans from different parts of the world to participate in the excitement.
