Taylor Swiftafter the announcement that Eras TourThe filmed version of the pop star’s record-breaking world tour was set to hit theaters on October 13 (HERE DETAILS), but it didn’t just throw a wrench into the various movie release calendars, forcing, for example, the early release of the new The Exorcist.
The pop star is indeed recording impressive pre-sales figures, delighting the box office of the cinema, which was also left without a November release Dunes 2delayed by Warner until March 2024 due to a cast strike that prevents actors from promoting the sci-fi blockbuster.

We also have to add an important element that in the coming days could further increase the turnover that The Eras Tour will generate: the project actually benefited from a temporary agreement with the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA. , and for that reason, Taylor Swift will be completely free to promote the film. And we are talking about a star capable of moving amounts of money that, to put it in hyperbole, are comparable to the GDP of a small country…
