Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour has already broken records, raking in an impressive $123.5 million during its opening weekend worldwide. It stands as the highest-grossing concert movie to date, with fans eager to revisit it, which will likely boost its box office earnings further.
However, the movie’s release strategy is quite distinctive. It is only available in cinemas from Thursday to Sunday, and not on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays. The question remains: how long will Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour continue in theaters, and when will it be available for streaming at home?
Duration in Cinemas: Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour made its cinema debut on October 13, following last-minute previews in the US on October 12, marking the start of an exclusive four-week theatrical run. While it predominantly screens during weekends, there will be additional showtimes from October 19-22, October 26-29, and November 2-5, extending the opportunity to watch The Eras Tour in theaters for an extra 12 days. There is potential for additional showtimes beyond November 5 if it remains popular in early November.
Streaming Availability: As of now, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is exclusively available in cinemas, with no confirmed digital release date. Predicting when the movie will hit streaming platforms is challenging due to its unique release strategy. Swift made a direct agreement with AMC Theatres for the movie’s release, bypassing major distributors in the US. Consequently, there are no previous models to rely on. It’s currently reported that there is no streaming deal in place for the movie, and an agreed-upon 13-week exclusive theatrical window implies that the earliest possible streaming release could be in January. It might be available for purchase or rental at home before streaming, but a streaming release is not anticipated in the near future.
Previous Taylor Swift films like “Miss Americana” ended up on Netflix, and “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions” found its home on Disney+. However, there’s no guarantee that either major streaming service will strike similar deals for “The Eras Tour.” It’s also conceivable that there won’t be a home release for “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” until the tour concludes. Swift’s tour is set to resume on November 9 in Argentina and will continue until November 23, 2024, when it concludes in Canada. Hopefully, fans won’t have to wait until then.
In summary, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” will continue in theaters until November 5, and its streaming release remains uncertain, with a potential window for January 2024.
