Fans who weren't able to watch Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" live in person will get a chance to get the full concert experience in cinemas as the pop star announced last month that she will bring her tour to the big screen.
More recently, it was reported that the musician is expected to earn hundreds of millions of dollars during her movie's opening date; how much would it be in total?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the mega pop superstar is headed for a record-breaking opening for a concert film as she's projected to earn a whopping $150 million to $200 million.
To break it down, her North American earnings are projected to be around $100 million to $125 million, while in other countries, it's expected to be around $50 million to $75 million.
Although the numbers mentioned above were just an estimate, the concert film already earned $100 million in advance ticket sales. There were also some cinemas across the United States that were already sold out for the concert.
Swift's new movie is said to be the highest launch for a concert film of all time.
