What is the future of concert movies?
Updated: Nov 4, 2024

Recordings of concerts have existed for a long time but have yet to reach the degree of those released in 2023. Beyonce and Taylor Swift had their biggest years to date with their Renaissance and Eras Tours respectively, but that wasn’t all. Both artists released movies recorded live at their concerts each grossing some of the highest-earning concert movies ever. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie more than doubled the previous most successful movie making 180 million dollars in theaters. These movies surpassed normal movie-going experiences in spirits with people dressing for the movies and singing along. Some may wonder why an artist would release a movie of a tour where they would make more money from concert tickets. One of the major reasons for this is many people either aren’t able to find tickets to the
concerts or can’t afford to buy them. Having the concert in theaters allows for the concert and artist to be seen by more people. Because of the success of these movies in theaters, there will likely be more concert movies in the future.
