Taylor Swift’s One-Weekend ‘Showgirl’ Release Party Poised to Lead Box Office With $35–$40 Million

The cinema-exclusive rollout concentrates demand into a three-day window to drive event-style turnout.

Overview

  • The Official Release Party of a Showgirl is screening only in theaters from October 3–5 across major chains, with an 89-minute program.
  • The event features the world premiere of the music video for The Fate of Ophelia, behind-the-scenes footage, new lyric videos, and Swift’s personal reflections tied to The Life of a Showgirl.
  • Industry projections cited by Variety estimate a $35–$40 million domestic total for the three-day run, putting it on track for the No. 1 weekend spot.
  • Forecasts indicate it will outgross other new releases, including Dwayne Johnson’s The Smashing Machine at about $10.2 million and Leonardo DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another near $10 million.
  • Streaming plans have not been announced, with coverage suggesting Disney+ as a possible destination and a potentially delayed window modeled on the Eras Tour film’s timeline.
