Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie is coming to Dubai
The Taylor Swift concert film will play in more than 100 countries from Friday, October 13, and in 13 more destinations from Friday, November 3, one of which is the UAE!
Vox Cinemas soft-launched the movie yesterday on their website, listing it in their ‘coming soon’ section. The release date has been revealed as 3rd November 2023.
Taylor Swift’s The Eras tour, which kicked off on March 17 in Arizona is the singer’s sixth concert tour. The tour celebrates Swift’s entire career and is a journey through all of her musical “eras”, with songs from all ten of her studio albums. It is her most expansive tour yet.
What is the movie about?
Much like the actual concert tour, the movie will celebrate the singer’s career and all of her musical “eras”. The film is essentially a recording of the concert taken from the first three nights that the American singer-songwriter performed at the SoFi Stadium in California in August.
“The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon,” Swift said on social media channels.
While the movie will not contain the entire tour setlist, as the concert is over three hours, it’s still going to be a great experience for those who could not attend Swift’s tour in person.
The Eras Tour concert film’s success
After opening in the United States and Canada on October 13, the movie amassed $92.8 million. This makes it the highest-grossing domestic concert film ever, according to Box Office Mojo.
Previously, the record was held by ‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It’ in 2009, which garnered over $74.3 million at the box office.
Many fans shared their experience on social media, screaming, dancing, and waving along to Swift’s lyrics. A crowd often massed at the front of the theater, standing as if they had floor seats at the Eras Tour.
