Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie breaks huge record after nearly 15 years

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie is now the highest-grossing concert movie of all time, surpassing Michael Jackson’s This Is It.

The Jackson movie opened in 2009, and made $261.2 million worldwide. Swift’s movie surpassed that number thanks to a successful opening week in China, where it has grossed $8.7 million since launching on December 31.

These are the Top 10 grossing concert movies at present, though it should be noted that these numbers aren’t adjusted for inflation. And that the Taylor Swift and Beyonce films are still on general release, so those totals are rising.
