It was never going to.

Live concert movies have notoriously and traditionally never been big box office.

People naively assume that the more popular the artist, the bigger the box office. It's rubbish. It could be the biggest artist on the planet, still it won't bring in the crowds.

Even before streaming, Sky, Netflix etc this was true.

And even more true now when people will wait to download it, and watch it at home on a 60 plus inch 4K TV.

Huh? This shattered every concert film ever. And it may beat Joker's record for an Oct opening, putting it on par with any other movie. Nothing traditional about it. It's a monster. The next biggest concert film is Bieber's, which drew 73mil -- not in its opening weekend -- but in its entire run. The fact that it was released so wide should've told you that this would be nothing like the typical live concert movie. You don't put it in 3,850 theaters b/c you expect that "it won't bring in the crowds". They knew the demand was high enough and they were absolutely right.

It still did very well irregardless of that.

This box office website had a poster predicting $300 Million for the weekend.. This is a result of what happens when you overhype something

reply

That fact that it made astonishing 90 millions is just crazy, really.

Like, many artists do "concert movie". But they usually just drop it to some streaming. They dont get released in movie theaters and get 90 millions on opening week end.

I dont understand why all those people get so crazy about Taylor Swift. Its nuts.

reply

I dont understand why all those people get so crazy about Taylor Swift.

Because her songs make us feel something.

reply

Nausea?

The songs other people wrote and produced for her

reply

That is the case for 99% of other performers as well, doesn't mean you can't connect with the musique.

reply

I don't listen to puppets and cringe pop acts so that percentage has dropped dramatically.

reply

How? Her songs are very bland and annoying. She has like only few songs that are actually listenable. Like Blank Space, Look What You Made Me Do.

reply

Well, listen to songs like You're not sorry, White Horse, All Too Well. The lyrics are very emotional and describe universal human experiences. If you only listen to her radio singles you see a very small part of her artistry.

reply

The lyrics

her artistry

Somebody elses "artistry" in putting lyrics together for 14 year old girls to enjoy

reply

It was the biggest opening for a concert movie in history.

reply

Still was a massive success.

reply

I don't know 1 song this woman plays, nor do I care, but if I had a daughter and she loved Taylor Swift an wanted to see her, I would go out of my way to ensure she had the best seats..

reply

I'd slap my daughter in the face, shake her vigorously, chuck a Led Zeppelin CD in her lap and tell her "get educated bitch"

reply

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! You win the internet of the day with that comment

But it cost comparatively little to make, compared to a CGI-heavy extravaganza.

Betcha it's turned a very large profit.
