Overview

  • The three‑day theatrical event grossed about $46 million worldwide, including roughly $33 million in North America and $13 million internationally, per AMC and Comscore.
  • The 89‑minute program premiered the music video for The Fate of Ophelia alongside lyric videos, behind‑the‑scenes footage and Swift’s song‑by‑song commentary.
  • Rotten Tomatoes shows a roughly 95% verified audience score from more than a thousand reviews, while professional critic reviews remain sparse.
  • Luminate reports 2.7 million U.S. copies sold on release day, with new single‑day streaming and vinyl records set; industry projections suggest the first‑week total could challenge Adele’s 2015 mark.
  • The film topped One Battle After Another’s second weekend ($11 million) and The Smashing Machine’s debut ($6 million), and it is not currently available to stream though the Ophelia video is online.
