Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' movie scares 'The Exorcist: Believer' off its Friday the 13th release
Marcus Theaters Chairman and CEO Greg Marcus joins 'The Claman Countdown' to discuss the impact of Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' concert film on the movie industry.
Beyonce has the film about her highly-grossing "Renaissance" tour officially debuting Friday in theaters.
The AMC Entertainment-distributed "Renaissance: A film by Beyonce" gives moviegoers insight into the "journey of RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR, from its inception to the opening show in Stockholm, Sweden, to the grand finale in Kansas City, Missouri," AMC and Beyonce’s Parkwood Entertainment previously said. Its release comes about two months after the singer performed the final show of the 56-date tour.

The "Renaissance" tour itself, attended by over 2.7 million in nearly five months, produced nearly $580 million gross, Billboard reported. That figure led to it being No. 7 as the outlet ranked the 10 tours that have generated the most money.

Beyonce made the "Renaissance" album, which features songs like "Cuff It," "Break My Soul" and "Church Girl," available to fans back in July of last year. Her various albums have generated 30.5 million worth of domestic sales of certified units, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
Taylor Swift, whose "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" concert flick came out in October, stepped out Thursday to show support for Beyonce at the "Renaissance" film’s London premiere, multiple media outlets reported. Beyonce had previously done so in Los Angeles for Swift’s movie.
