Because Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour box office projections are a huge achievement.
Raising $100 million would be almost unthinkable for a concert documentary.

If the documentary “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” really lives up to the forecast, it will become the highest-grossing concert documentary of all time in the domestic box office. And with pre-sales topping $26 million in just one day, the movie is going according to plan. With over a month left until the October 13th release, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour looks like it’s only going to get better in terms of sales.
Pre-sales and box office projections of more than $100 million are great news not only for Taylor Swift: Tour of the Ages, but also for theaters struggling with writers’ and actors’ strikes. With both strikes showing no signs of abating, high-profile films like Dune: Part Two have been delayed, leaving theaters at risk of losing revenue this fall. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour could change the fate of the fall box office by wiping concert documentary records.
