What a surprise that a movie geared towards a majority white girl audience did better than a movie centered around Queer POC. 

 

Do yall not take a second and realize what you're comparing ?? 

 

Nothing about Renaissance film was promoted as a movie for Queer people bffr

"On this weekend"

 

It's also "opening" I'm sure there are many movies who did better in their second and third weeks during this week.

There is one artist you can compare her to - Ed Sheeran.

The one whose last album charted for 2 weeks?

You are the one jumping from topic to topic. 

First you started to talk about the US when the OP is about International box office. 

Then you implied that Eras movie is bigger because of children. 

And then you started to talk about race demographics. 

 

It didn't even perform bad domestically but can you explain us why it opened with only 6M internationally

while this is true, Taylor's concert was affordable too. I loved the RENAISSANCE movie and even paid for IMAX, but $34 ($29 without the taxes and convenience fee) was not the tea

 

In my local cinema, the Eras Tour tickets were more expensive than the Renaissance ones. I haven't seen either film in IMAX so I'm not sure about those prices but I think both films were priced pretty similarly

And some users here called The Eras overseas $33M opening numbers bad and local. 

Yet, isn’t that precisely just what all of you minions are doing here?

33/92M = around 35%.
6.4/21M = around 30%. 
 

The difference is not mountains and valleys so you people are once again ridiculous and highly insecure for no reason.

 

Beyoncé was never going to do Taylor’s humongous numbers. Maybe take confort in that instead of being just insecure pains all around.

The swifties circlejerk here; Beyonce has them pressed

Oh for sure Beyonce and other fanbases were circlejerking too when The Eras Tour “only” opened $97 million and failed to match the extremely high projection of over $100 million set by the movie pundits.

And that's not the artist with universal-acclaimed discography and 3xAOTY receiver Taylor Swift  

Because Ed is British while Taylor is US American and thus their poster child

You know you’re that B!TCH when you cause all this conversation 

Always stay gracious best revenge is your paper 

 

her lyrics being relatable in 2023. 
 

all in all, Beyonce the brand, made over 600m in 2023 with an album that was relevant enough to sell out a 54 dates stadium tour and a film released 23 dates before Xmas. And that’s 27 years into her career with no gimmicks or rereleases of albums. Y’all can stay bothered

I mean the Beyhive is talking about "Swiftie are all children" in this thread because there are relatively 7% more kids who watched the Eras tour than Bey's

Then why also not point out Beyhives too then? They are also as obsessed with Beyonce as Swifties with Taylor 🙄

Yes and both Taylor and Beyonce are US American 

Noone is trigged by your tragical and illogical comparison I swear, our fav's moive is not struggling to recover the budget

[BtDecember]

The holidays is coming so Renaissance movie should be able to take advantage of that, especially since the Eras Tour may no longer be showing in cinemas during the holidays

Clearly I haven’t seen such a movie why would I? 
 

And even if so, you can never fully trust the words of an artist lol, whatever they say you need to understand are part of a much bigger discourse/presentation that they want to give to their audiences cause like it or not they are a brand they need to sell their product and their product is themselves.

As I haven't said, don't comment on things you are not informed about. 

 

You could watch it (a) because it is a really good film and (b) because you'd be able to comment on it.

Maybe follow the conversation. 
How else do you judge how local and how bad both movies did comparatively to the US? 
‘Take a math course. Like everything was said in the post. The monsters’ mention is also just...whatever.

Probably because insecure young teens in both Stanbases are pretty sad.

 

If you’re a grown adult taking this to heart, than god help you

Swifties are so ******* annoying they make me want to never listen to Taylor Swift again 

This user was so annoyed that they had to make their first post ever, and yet their first post ended up with the "popular post" tag. Leaving the girls pressed, while getting acclaim and success with their debut, not everyone has that.

And you think that makes you superior and on the right side? This is very normal in pop culture forums, if you can’t take it then leave.
