The 90-minute film, released alongside her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, earned $33 million in the United States and $13 million across 54 international territories. The surprise release, distributed through AMC Theatres rather than a traditional studio, marked Swift’s second collaboration with the chain following 2023’s Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which grossed $261 million worldwide.
AMC’s CEO Adam Aron said, “It was simply a wonderful gift to her passionate and enthusiastic fans, who got to see, on our giant screens, behind-the-scenes footage and insight into The Life of a Showgirl.” He added that AMC was “so proud to have collaborated with Taylor,” describing the partnership as “an honor and privilege.” (via Variety)
The three-day limited engagement also included the premiere of Swift’s music video for “The Fate of Ophelia,” lyric videos, and personal reflections from the artist.
In other box-office results, Leonardo DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another crossed $100 million globally in its second weekend. The Warner Bros. film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, earned $58.9 million overseas and $101.7 million total, becoming Anderson’s highest-grossing release to date. The film, which cost over $130 million to produce, saw only a 17 percent decline internationally from its debut, compared with a 53 percent domestic drop.
Warner Bros. continued its strong 2025 performance with The Conjuring: Last Rites, which reached $458.2 million worldwide. Disney also re-released Avatar: The Way of Water, earning $10 million globally as promotion for December’s upcoming sequel, Avatar: Fire and Ash.
