TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR

The concert film of the Eras Tour, shot across three shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood in August 2023, directed by Sam Wrench on a budget between 10 and 20 million dollars. The real story is distribution. Swift bypassed the studios entirely and dealt directly with AMC Theatres, which had no precedent in the industry. One analyst's line captures the reaction: it is scary that Taylor Swift can come in and become a hit without using conventional marketing routes. The production also received special SAG-AFTRA approval as a non-studio union production. The result was a record. It grossed 267.1 million dollars worldwide, the highest-grossing concert film ever made. AMC reported 100 million dollars in global pre-sales before release, and the US opening weekend reached 92.8 million. Disney+ released an extended version with additional performances on 14 March 2024. A second concert film, The Final Show, recorded at the tour's last Vancouver date, premiered on Disney+ in December 2025. Who it is for: fans who missed the tour and anyone who likes the concert film form. Who it is not for: viewers wanting narrative. This records a three-and-a-half-hour setlist and there is nothing else behind it.
