Beyoncé is all set to take the highest spot on the field workplace this weekend along with her new live performance movie — however it’s falling method wanting one other this 12 months … guess who.
The Queen Bey had a powerful first-day begin to the weekend along with her ‘Renaissance’ flick — which raked in about $11.5 million between Thursday previews and Friday’s full day of showings. Projections have it pegged to make someplace within the ballpark of $20-$24 million domestically by way of Sunday.
Like we mentioned, it’s definitely a strong determine so far as live performance movies are involved — particularly traditionally — however it pales compared to how Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ film did in the identical window a couple of months in the past … when it made $39 mil domestically between Thur/Fri, and ended up with an enormous haul of $92 million for its whole opening weekend.
Of course, at this level, the “Eras” tour movie has grossed effectively over $250 million worldwide.
Not to match the 2, however you type of need to when Bey and Tay are the most important pop stars on this planet … they usually each launched live performance movies inside a brief window. The juxtaposition is barely pure, and the numbers are what they’re.
It ought to go with out saying … they most definitely help each other regardless, and attended the opposite’s premiere, respectively — Bey in L.A. for Tay, and Tay in London for Bey.
And sure … they posed collectively on each events, so it is no dangerous blood in any respect — or so it appears, anyway. Their fervent fan bases are typically somewhat extra aggressive at instances.
In any case, the actual winner right here is AMC — which completely distributed each films and is cleansing up huge time. Rather than use an outdoor studio companion, they did it themselves … and to date, it appears to be paying off.
Whodatunkit … Beyonce and Taylor dominated the massive stage and the massive display this 12 months. Didn’t see that one coming!
