Beyoncé announces Renaissance World Tour Film
Beyoncé has officially announced the Renaissance World Tour concert film, with a trailer confirming the release date on December 1 and teasing what can be expected.
Titled Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, the film will be a part-filmed version of the hugely acclaimed and massively successful tour and part making of a documentary. Will it finally include the Renaissance visuals, which reportedly finished filming in November 2022 but everyone has to wait to see it?
The trailer shows us a mix of performances and behind-the-scenes footage of Beyoncé with her family, including Jay-Z and Blue Ivy.
Meanwhile, Bevoncé wrapped up her RENAISSANCE World Tour after an astounding 56 sold-out stadium dates, securing her place in history as the artist behind the highest-grossing female tour ever.
This milestone shatters the previous record held by Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet Tour” (2008-2009) and cements Bevoncé’s status as an unparalleled force in the music industry.
According to figures she made £346million from the jaunt, at the time it was left with nine out of the 56 dates against Madonna’s £324million.
The #RENAISSANCEWorldTour saw Bevoncé captivating audiences around the globe with her electrifying performances, visually stunning stage designs, and an unmatched level of artistry. Fans from all corners of the world flocked to stadiums to witness the musical spectacle that only Bevoncé could deliver.
Beyoncé’s Concert Film has made millions in advance sales after just one day
The world has only known about Beyoncé’s concert film Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé for a very short time, but based on very early presale ticket numbers, fans are clearly anxious to see the movie.
After just the first day that tickets to Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé were available via a pre-sale, the movie has already earned millions. The outlet, which cited unnamed sources that had knowledge of the picture and how things are going at this early stage, stated that first-day pre-sales for the movie were between $6 million and $7 million.
The publication claims that the numbers don’t come from AMC, which is the top theater chain in America. AMC ever releases a number, the total sum from the first day tickets were sold could rise.
Early projections from move theater insiders in the industry are suggesting that Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé could open at the box office with a $20 million weekend. That projection speaks volumes about the widespread anticipation for the documentary, as December isn’t known as a particularly lucrative time at movie theaters, especially for non-blockbuster and non-holiday events.
Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé is already performing well compared to not just concert films, but some major studio releases. According to Deadline, the singer’s concert doc earned similar first-day pre-sale numbers as successful movies like Avatar: The Way of Water ($5.5 million), Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 ($6 million) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($6.5 million).
Variety first broke the news that Bey had a movie coming to theaters based around her historic Renaissance World Tour. The superstar confirmed the project after concluding the global trek earlier this month in Kansas City, MO.
Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé now has its own trailer, which shows that the movie is set to be a mix between performance footage and a documentary that tracks the singer creating the show and rehearsing it. The Renaissance World Tour saw Beyoncé play to millions of fans across Europe and North America for months throughout 2023. The trek just finished with more than $500 million in ticket sales, making it one of the highest-grossing tours of all time.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour ends with more than half a Billion Dollars earned at The Box Office
Beyoncé played the final date of her massively successful Renaissance World Tour on October 1 in Kansas City, MO. The trek wraps with an eye-popping final box office gross — the kind that very few musicians in the world can muster.
According to information shared by Live Nation, the Renaissance World Tour finished having earned $579 million at the box office. It is now one of only a few treks in history to rack up at least half a billion dollars in ticket sales.
In fact, the Renaissance World Tour now ranks as one of the top 10 top-grossing music tours of all time. It appears to sit in between The Rolling Stones’s A Bigger Bang Tour, with $558 million, and Guns N’ Roses’s Not in This Lifetime… Tour. The trek brought in $584 million — just a few million more than Bey.
Live Nation, the tour's promoter, also announced that the Renaissance World Tour sold 2.7 million tickets. The venture traveled to 39 cities, and Beyoncé headlined 56 dates throughout the summer and early fall.
The Renaissance World Tour was a musical spectacle that thrilled sold out crowds across North America and Europe, with millions more fans trying to get a ticket, but failing to do so, as demand was higher than supply.
The venture was launched to support Beyoncé’s most recent album, Renaissance. The title went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and produced another No. 1 single, “Break My Soul.” The project was heralded as a critical and commercial smash, and it earned Bey several more Grammys, helping her break the all-time record for the most wins among any artist.
For those fans who didn’t get to experience the Renaissance World Tour in person, a concert film is coming to movie theaters later this year. Beyoncé’s new film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, is slated to arrive in theaters on December 1.
