According to a source from Variety, Taylor Swift’s concert film “The Eras Tour” brought in a whopping $ 39 million on its opening day in 3,855 theaters in North America. It’s the second-biggest October opening day film ever, behind only 10’s blockbuster Joker ($2019.39 million). In addition, the singer’s film is also the film with the 3th biggest release date in 7.

Originally, The Eras Tour was scheduled to premiere on October 13. However, due to the overwhelming demand from fans, Taylor Swift decided to release one day early and push for more screenings over the weekend. With a large audience in theaters, the film was predicted to hit $10 million, or at least reach $125 million for its opening three days.

One thing that catches the attention of this film is that the audience can use mobile phones as well as dance and sing along during the screening as if this is a real concert. This novel experience made fans extremely excited and immediately attracted the curiosity of many viewers around the world.

Variety predicts Lover’s concert documentary will make the top 10 highest-grossing openings this year, ranking between No. 5 and No. 7, between “Ant-Man 3” ($106 million), “The Little Mermaid” ($95 million) and Oppenheimer’s ($80.5 million).
