""The Official Release Party of a Showgirl," which hit theaters this weekend for a limited three-day run, features the debut of the Swift-directed "The Fate of Ophelia" music video, behind-the-scenes footage and notes from Swift about the inspiration for each of the songs on her new record, "The Life of a Showgirl." The 89-minute companion film opened to an estimated $15.8 million on Friday and is projected to gross more than $30 million over the weekend."
"The box office success comes as no surprise, "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" brought in $96 million in 2023 in its first four days in theaters and became the highest-grossing concert film of all time. Hitting 21 countries in 21 months, the Eras Tour itself earned more than $2 billion in revenue, the first music tour to ever hit that milestone."
"Even as "Showgirl" seems destined to become Swift's most divisive album yet - with critics and fans alike split in their reactions - the Taylormania was palpable Saturday morning at AMC Century City, which that day screened "The Official Release Party of a Showgirl" 21 times across three screens. Madison Story, 34, made sure to catch the film at the luxury Dolby Cinema, calling "Showgirl" Swift's "most cinematic album yet.""
