Breaking News: Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Film Dominates Box Office
11:38 PM UTC – December 4, 2023
(Reuters) – Beyonce Knowles’ concert film, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce,” has taken the U.S. box office by storm, earning a staggering $21.8 million during the typically slow first weekend of December, according to research firm Comscore.
This groundbreaking achievement marks the first time in nearly two decades that a movie has surpassed the $20 million mark on this particular weekend, since the release of “The Last Samurai” starring Tom Cruise in 2003, as reported by Comscore.
Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented, “It’s usually a dead zone for the box office historically. It’s like the weekend after Labor Day or the first weekend after summer ends. There’s a lull that often happens, so I think they chose a perfect release date.”
Similar to Taylor Swift’s “Eras” concert film, “Renaissance” has given Beyonce’s devoted fans, known as the Beyhive, a chance to experience the magic of her concert tour, even if they couldn’t secure tickets to the sold-out shows. Social media has been flooded with clips of enthusiastic filmgoers from around the world, dressed in silver, metallic outfits, dancing and singing along in packed theaters.
According to Live Nation, Beyonce’s 56-stop Renaissance World Tour has generated a staggering $579 million worldwide, a hot ticket that some economists believe may have contributed to inflation in Europe.
Reviewers have praised the film for its captivating behind-the-scenes look at Beyonce’s first world tour since 2016, showcasing her frequent costume changes, breathtaking choreography, “surreal” visuals, and of course, her multi-platinum voice.
Beyonce, renowned for hits like “Flawless” and a member of Destiny’s Child, holds the record for the most Grammy wins, with an impressive 32 awards.
In addition to the concert footage, the film offers a rare glimpse into Beyonce’s struggles with fame and motherhood. She also speaks candidly about the challenges and joys of being a Black woman in the music industry.
While “Renaissance” fell short of Taylor Swift’s $96 million opening weekend, Comscore’s Dergarabedian predicts a similar outcome. He stated, “Having fans in the theaters will likely result in increased music downloads, and it’s a much more affordable option than a concert ticket.”
