The new Taylor Swift Eras Tour has recently blown up around the world, surpassing $100 million at the global box office in Presales alone. Not only that but advance ticket sales in the U.S. surpassed $37 million in the first 24 hours for AMC and Cinemark. Breaking AMC’s U.S. record, the highest-ticket sales revenue being $26 million. About 57% of the box office goes to swift and AMC’s distribution fee, with the other 43% going to theaters’ coffers, while the ticket sales are usually split 50-50 to studios and the exhibitors. This is beneficial for Swift, already knowing she made more than $1 billion in grosses from the Eras Tour itself. AMC also had benefits from its deal, too, with its theaters accounting for 40.5% of the domestic total when the market share is typically 22% to 25%. Though the theater company will get more in concession sales, promoting collectible popcorn tubs for $14.99 and cups for $11.99. The tickets for the Eras Tour were priced at $49 to $450, with VIP packages starting at $199 and reaching $899, though at the secondary market many of the tickets sold for thousands of dollars each. On the other hand, her filmed concert starts at $19.89 for adults and $13.13 for kids.
