Carry My Heart Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Taylor Swift breaks UK cinema record with ‘biggest ever’ presale opening week The US superstar’s concert film will launch in the UK on October 13. Taylor Swift has broken a UK cinema record as her Eras tour film became Vue International’s “biggest ever” opening week. US superstar Swift’s concert film, which was recorded during her American tour leg, has broken the record for the most tickets sold during a presale opening week, Vue International announced on Wednesday. Quote The huge impact of concert films is clear, with Beyoncé now following suit with a concert film of her own, following the release of the trailer for her Renaissance World Tour concert movie – it’s an exciting time to be a fan of music and cinema US cinema chain AMC Theatres Distribution previously said the Swift film had beaten its record for the highest ticket-sales revenue during a single day in its 103-year history. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe&Sound Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) My 2012 me wouldn't believe this She was trying her hardest to break UK market in RED era, flew every time she released singles to perform it live and boost its chart performances there (even for Everything Has Changed and The Last Time) then she has never had her #1 hit in UK until LWYMMD so to see her dominance in UK right now, is totally insane, perfect scenario Edited October 4, 2023 by Safe&Sound 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She requested at every radio. Went at every country radio station , gave interviews , told the people she use to sing to request her songs. She use to have fan meet and greet for like 12 hrs straight People want easy success and then they complain. Success can never be built overnight. 7 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the record for only the concert movies. Yeah it's definitely for concert movies Still a great achievement regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people undermine her achievements simply because she comes from a wealthy and privileged background, but the reality is that she has put in more effort than the majority of new artists in today's industry. Not only that, but she has consistently employed excellent marketing strategies and innovative thinking. While others may attempt to replicate her formula for success, they often overlook the basics to being successful like Taylor. It's just not gonna work to merely release music with the huge amounts of playlists and payola when everyone else is doing the same. We need new artists to invest time and effort into their craft and not just rely on their label to do everything for them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's gonna make a lot of money in the Uk too but of course is not like star wars or Bond level of pre sales.

They were pure industry plant, you got notice, you got a contract, 150 producers, first song made sent in every national radios with big deals and 4 months after you can have a #1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
