Beyonce’s Renaissance tour film first-day presales ‘estimated to be around $6M-$7M’
Beyonce’s upcoming Renaissance tour film has already reached between $6 and $7 million in presales, Deadline reported on Tuesday.
It comes after the 42-year-old songstress — whose final tour stop was in Kansas City — announced on Sunday that she will be releasing the behind-the-scenes documentary in theaters December 1.
The monetary estimate was calculated from the three largest American theaters — AMC, Regal and Cinemark.
The outlet noted that the official number of presale profits could be higher than the ballpark figure.
It was also noted in Deadline’s coverage that Fandango tickets for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour presale tickets outsold Beyonce’s 7-to-1 on the first day of sales.
