- Billie Eilish — Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D), which opens Friday, rolls out in roughly 2,600 theaters through Paramount with a PG-13 rating.
- The film, co-directed by Eilish and James Cameron, was shot over four sold-out Manchester shows using a multi-camera 3D setup and includes brief backstage glimpses of her pre-show routine.
- Early reviews praise the immersive 3D and Eilish’s commanding performance, with outlets like RogerEbert.com, IndieWire, TheWrap and the AP highlighting onstage intimacy.
- Other critics, including The Globe and Mail, fault the repetitive focus on fan close-ups and question whether the emotional framing adds much depth.
- Industry tracking cited by Deadline projects a $6–9 million North American debut and about $18–24 million worldwide, as Paramount reportedly backs the release with a $20 million acquisition and premium Dolby 3D and RealD playdates.
