TAYLOR SWIFT | THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL Is an Unprecedented, Record-Setting, Worldwide Success With More Than $50 Million Global Box Office

LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Taylor Swift is a global icon, a record-setting artist, and, once again, a box office champion. Swift’s self-directed, one-weekend-only TAYLOR SWIFT | THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL album-debut cinematic experience is officially the No. 1 title at the box office, both domestically and globally. The unprecedented success was driven by a 3-day domestic box office of $34 million and an international box office of $16 million. Globally, the event earned more than $50 million for its one-weekend run.

Announced just two Fridays ago, the TAYLOR SWIFT | THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL theatrical event was timed to coincide with Swift’s 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl”. Beginning at 3 p.m. ET on Friday, October 3, the Swifties took their celebrations to movie theatres, singing and dancing to the new album.

Audiences loved the cinematic experience, awarding the event a coveted A+ CinemaScore.

Among the most notable records and accomplishments now held by TAYLOR SWIFT | THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL:

• TAYLOR SWIFT | THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL is the biggest grossing album-debut theatrical event of all time at the domestic and global box office.
• It is the only album-debut cinematic experience in history to finish No. 1 at the domestic box office.
• It is the only “non-film” theatrical event this century to finish a weekend No. 1 at the domestic box office.

In keeping with the unique “non-film“ cinematic experience of TAYLOR SWIFT | THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL, this was not a typical weekend release. There were no Thursday preview showtimes as there would be with a traditional release, and no showtimes on Friday morning. The first showtimes started on Friday at 3 p.m. ET and simultaneously across time zones.

TAYLOR SWIFT | THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL was distributed by AMC Theatres Distribution in partnership with Variance Films in the U.S. & Canada, and in partnership with Piece of Magic Entertainment internationally. Since launching in 2023, this marks the third release from AMC Theatres Distribution to finish a weekend No. 1 at the domestic box office.

AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron commented:

“On behalf of AMC Theatres and the entire theatrical exhibition industry, I extend our sincerest appreciation to the iconic Taylor Swift for bringing her brilliance and magic to movie theatres this weekend. Her vision to add a cinematic element to her incredible album debut was nothing less than a triumph. It was simply a wonderful gift to her passionate and enthusiastic fans, who got to see, on our giant screens, behind-the-scenes footage and insight into The Life of a Showgirl. AMC Theatres is so proud to have collaborated with Taylor. What an honor and privilege and joy it has been for us to once again play a role in her incomparable success.”
