Taylor Swift, the pop sensation, has been ruling the music charts for years. This time, she made headlines with her concert Film. The film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is a cinematic rendition of her highly successful Eras Tour. The film has not only captivated audiences but also set new records in the entertainment industry. Swift’s The Eras Tour, released on Oct. 13, 2023, is the highest-grossing domestic concert film ever.
One of the most pressing questions for Swifties is the duration of the film's stay in theaters. According to Insider, the movie will be shown in theaters for a minimum of four weeks following its release.
This limited run is expected to generate a massive opening weekend. Swift has also taken an unconventional route by negotiating the film's distribution directly with AMC, thereby having more control over its distribution.
The Eras Tour: Where can you buy the tickets?
Tickets can be purchased through various platforms such as AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and Fandango. The adult tickets are priced at $19.89, a clever nod to the year of Swift's birth and the title of her fifth studio album, 1989.
For those who might miss the theatrical experience, there's still hope. The film is expected to be available for streaming 13 weeks after its theatrical release. This sets the earliest possible streaming date to January 12, 2024.
The Eras Tour: What is the movie about?
Taylor Swift recorded The Eras Tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The film has a duration of 2 hours and 45 minutes, leading to questions about omitted content. Concerts on the tour initially lasted around 3 hours but extended to 3 and a half hours by the end. The film's Wednesday night premiere clarified these omissions.
According to Entertainment Weekly, five songs were removed from the film's setlist. The cut songs are No Body, No Crime, Long Live, Wildest Dreams, The Archer, and Cardigan. However, the credits feature Long Live, played over tour bloopers and fan videos.
Two surprise songs, Our Song and You're On Your Own Kid, made the final cut. The film also features abbreviated costume changes and transitions between Swift's different musical eras.
