Taylor Swift's Eras Tour film passes $100 million in worldwide presales
Movie theater chain AMC announced Thursday that the "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" concert film has passed $100 million in global pre-sales.
The announcement comes just over a week before the film is set to debut worldwide and days after AMC announced that it struck a deal to distribute “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.”
Swift's film is responsible for AMC's domestic record for the highest ticket-sales revenue during a single day and will play in over 8,500 theaters around the world.
The film is the latest wave in the explosion of economic activity that surrounded the Eras Tour, which is estimated to have generated up to $4.6 billion in consumer spending according to projections from research company QuestionPro.
