Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour is now breaking records in theatres as well. The American popstar’s upcoming concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has now sold tickets worth more than $100 million worldwide, according to a report by Variety.
Swift’s concert film is being screened in more than 100 countries with more than 8,500 screens across the globe. AMC Theatres — the official global distributor of the film — confirmed to the news outlet, that these revenues came across all showtimes and circuits that are playing the film, which also includes Pakistan.
Earlier, the film surpassed expectations by breaking the single-day ticket sales record of all-time for AMC Theatres with sales worth $26m in North America. The record was previously held by Marvel’s Spider-man: No Way Home with $16.9m in sales.

Whereas, the film has also broken the domestic pre-sale records “with more than 10 times higher pre-sales than any other cinema engagement event,” for Cinemark theatres, according to a press release by the North American chain.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour comes out on October 13 and will be screened by Cinepax Theatres across major cities in Pakistan.
