- The limited engagement ends Sunday and features an 89‑minute package of new visual content with a base ticket price of $12.
- Demand is concentrated early due to the album launch timing and advance sales, while early audiences awarded an A+ CinemaScore.
- Handled by AMC Theatres Distribution, the rollout relied on minimal traditional marketing and captured premium large-format screens from rival titles.
