Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Holds Off Killers of the Flower Moon to Win the Weekend Box Office

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour held off the impressive $23 million debut of Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon to win its second domestic weekend box office in a row with ticket sales reaching $31 million.

As reported by Comscore, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour saw a drop of 67% from its opening weekend, but it still had a great showing and has officially become the first concert film in history to cross $100 million in North America. The film is now sitting at $129.7 million domestically.

Considering the film cost $15 million and was self-financed by Swift herself, this is surely most welcome news.

Killers of the Flower Moon brought in another $44 million overseas, and its global total has now crossed $67 million.

In our Killers of the Flower Moon review, we said, “It’s one of Scorsese’s most brutal films, yet one of his most thoughtful and self-reflexive, as he crafts a subversive murder ‘mystery’ that leaves no lingering questions save for one. It’s a question that defines the tide of American history: Just how far are people willing to go for greed?”

The Exorcist: Believer took third place with $5.6 million, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie finished in fourth with $4.4 million, and the re-release of 1993’s The Nightmare Before Christmas rounded out the top five with $4.1 million.
