If you thought Beyoncé’s Renaissance reign was about to let up, think again! While the world tour might be over, on Thursday night, fans across the world. will be headed to AMC Theaters to take in Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce. But will the box office numbers rival that of the tour?
According to the Washington Post, the “Cozy” singer racked up $579.9 million over the five months and 56 show tour. Per Forbes, her net worth now sits at $540 million—up 20 percent from last year. She’s officially now the biggest boxscore earner of the year, beating out Taylor Swift (sorry Swifties!) and the eighth highest-grossing tour of all time.
However, numbers for Queen Bey’s film paint a smaller picture with projections estimated at around $20 million domestically and $40 million globally, according to Variety. In contrast, Swift had a much bigger turn out bringing in $92 million domestically and generating $250 million worldwide to date.
Regardless of the turnout, what’s clear is that this film is already garnering buzz from both Hollywood and abroad. For the Los Angeles premiere held on Nov. 25, folks like Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett, LaTavia Roberson, Michelle Williams, Tyler Perry, Lizzo, Normani, Lori Harvey, Issa Rae, Janelle Monae, Marsai Martin, Chloe and Halle, and more were in attendance. For the London premiere, taking place Thursday night, so far stars like music group FLO, Bey’s backup dancers Les Twins, daughter Blue Ivy Carter, Will.I.AM., and Taylor Swift have been spotted in attendance so far.
Tickets for the highly-anticipated film are still available so run, don’t walk, to get yours now.
