Taylor Swift "The Eras Tour"
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour[a] is a 2023 American concert film produced by singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Directed by Sam Wrench, the film documents the Eras Tour, Swift’s 2023–2024 concert tour in support of her discography. Swift struck an unprecedented distribution agreement with AMC Theatres and Cinemark Theatres for the film after negotiations with the major film studios fell through.
Filming occurred in August 2023 at three shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on a budget of $10–20 million and with SAG-AFTRA permitting the production to proceed amidst its 2023 strike. Swift announced The Eras Tour later that month, catching studios and exhibitors off guard and causing several films that had been set for release on or near October 13 to move their release dates. The unconventional release strategy was the topic of media discourse, with many journalists and industry personnel praising Swift’s move to bypass the studios and directly partner with theaters.
The film premiered at The Grove in Los Angeles, California, on October 11, 2023, and was released to theaters worldwide on October 13. It was met with significant ticket demand, amassing a record $37 million on its first day of pre-sales in the United States and over $100 million in total pre-sales. The Eras Tour became the highest-grossing concert film of all-time, having grossed $123 million and received positive reviews from critics, who praised the camerawork and sound for capturing the show’s spectacle and energy.
