Taylor Swift broke an AMC record on Thursday with $26m in presale tickets for her Eras tour concert film, besting Spider Man: No Way Home’s $16.9m. That brings Swift’s total pre-sale haul to $37m, according to Deadline, including tickets sold by AMC, Regal and Cinemark – higher than the first day presales of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which will run for four weekends starting 13 October, seems poised for a huge box office haul – Deadline projects a $70m opening weekend – so much so that it has affected the fall release schedule. Horror sequel The Exorcist: Believer was originally slated to enter theaters on 13 October, is now premiering a week earlier, on 6 October. ““Look what you made me do. The Exorcist: Believer moves to 10/6/23,” producer Jason Blum wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday, along with the hashtag #TaylorWins. The film stars Ellen Burstyn, Leslie Odom Jr and Ann Dowd.
