Beyoncé is all set to take the highest spot on the field workplace this weekend together with her new live performance movie — but it surely’s falling means in need of one other this 12 months … guess who.
The Queen Bey had a robust first-day begin to the weekend together with her ‘Renaissance’ flick — which raked in about $11.5 million between Thursday previews and Friday’s full day of showings. Projections have it pegged to make someplace within the ballpark of $20-$24 million domestically by way of Sunday.
Like we stated, it’s actually a strong determine so far as live performance movies are involved — particularly traditionally — but it surely pales compared to how Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ film did in the identical window a couple of months in the past … when it made $39 mil domestically between Thur/Fri, and ended up with an enormous haul of $92 million for its complete opening weekend.
After all, at this level, the “Eras” tour movie has grossed nicely over $250 million worldwide.
To not examine the 2, however you sort of must when Bey and Tay are the largest pop stars on the planet … and so they each launched live performance movies inside a brief window. The juxtaposition is just pure, and the numbers are what they’re.
It ought to go with out saying … they most actually assist each other regardless, and attended the opposite’s premiere, respectively — Bey in L.A. for Tay, and Tay in London for Bey.
And sure … they posed collectively on each events, so it is no dangerous blood in any way — or so it appears, anyway. Their fervent fan bases are typically slightly extra aggressive at instances.
In any case, the true winner right here is AMC — which solely distributed each films and is cleansing up large time. Fairly than use an outdoor studio accomplice, they did it themselves … and to this point, it appears to be paying off.
Whodatunkit … Beyonce and Taylor dominated the massive stage and the massive display screen this 12 months. Didn’t see that one coming!
