Swift’s Release Party Film Achieves Impressive Presales

In just 24 hours, Taylor Swift’s special film for *The Life of a Showgirl* raked in an astounding $15 million in presales. This one-time screening is scheduled to take place from October 3 to 5 at AMC theaters throughout the United States.

The 89-minute feature, titled *Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl*, serves as a companion piece to her new album. Attendees will be treated to exclusive content, including the premiere of the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia” and behind-the-scenes clips highlighting Swift’s insights about the album.

AMC Reaps the Benefits of Taylor Swift’s Popularity

On September 19, ticket presales alone brought in $7.5 million for AMC, marking it as the sixth-highest day for advance ticket sales in the chain’s history. This recent initiative marks a shift from the previous year’s *Eras Tour* concert film, which was offered to various studios before being finalized with AMC. The *Eras Tour* film ultimately became the highest-grossing concert or documentary film ever, accumulating $180.8 million domestically.

Swift’s approach for this release further distances itself from conventional studio tactics, relying on minimal marketing and engaging her massive fanbase with over 547 million social media followers.

All About *The Life of a Showgirl*

Tickets for the *Showgirl* film are starting at $12, which is slightly lower than the $20 ticket price for the *Eras Tour*. AMC will showcase this film in all its 540 domestic locations.

Distribution in Canada and the US will be handled by Variance Films, while Piece of Magic Entertainment will manage the international launch in 18 countries, including the UK and Australia.

The album itself will be released on October 3 by Republic Records. Swift collaborated again with renowned producers Max Martin and Shellback for this project, which features 12 songs—no extras included. “There’s no other songs coming. This is 12. There’s not a 13th… This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time,” explained Swift in a recent podcast.
