All hail Queen Bey at the box office. Beyonc\u00e9‘s much-anticipated concert film, Renaissance<\/em> topped the domestic box office this weekend with $21 million USD in its opening. <\/p>\n

Beyonc\u00e9, who wrote, directed and produced the film, saw ticket sales rank as one of the best debuts for concert film, joining others like Taylor Swift‘s The Eras Tour<\/em>, which is currently the biggest with $92.9 million USD, 2008’s Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert<\/em> with $31.1 million USD, 2011’s Justin Bieber: Never Say Never<\/em> and 2009’s Michael Jackson: This Is It<\/em>.<\/p>\n

AMC Theatres shared that this is the first time in two decades that a film has opened to more than $20 million USD on the weekend following Thanksgiving, which has notoriously been a slow time for films. While domestically, Renaissance<\/em> surpassed expectations, it fell short of projections overseas just opening to $6.4 million USD in 94 territories, bringing her global earnings to $27.4 million USD. <\/p>\n

Beyonc\u00e9 gets to pocket 50% of box office earnings while exhibitors keep the remaining revenue and AMC takes a small distribution fee, just like Swift’s The Eras Tour<\/em>. However, it is important to note that film ticket sales will not come close to her sold-out stadium tour. It remains to be seen how the film will continue to fair overtime.
