Taylor Swift Eras Movie Finally Slowing Down, Off by 54% from Last Week: Novelty Over?

Share

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie may be slowing down. Could it mean not hearing the singer’s name as much?

Nah.

Eras Tour made $4.8 million Friday night, down 54% from last Friday. That brings the total to $139.8 million. It could cross $150 million over the weekend, but that won’t happen until Tuesday, when Halloween screenings will only cost $13.13 in a promotion.

Is the movie really slowing down? A little. Will it hit $200 million? Eventually. Box office will now be doubly fueled by the release of Swift’s re-made “1989” album, which is projected to sell at 200K copies at least by Thursday night. Her albums and singles are all over the charts and will be until someone in the music biz develops other artists or releases new music.
