How much Disney paid to get the rights to Swift’s film.


KEY BACKGROUND
Swift’s Eras Tour concert film has been available to rent on demand since Dec. 13 for $19.89, though when Swift announced that there was no mention of where the film would permanently live. Swift had previously worked with Netflix—which houses her documentary, “Miss Americana,” and formerly her Reputation tour concert film—and Disney+, which has “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.” The Eras Tour film was available to rent through both Amazon Prime and Apple TV, introducing two other potential streaming options. Swift didn’t work with any studio when the film hit theaters, rather, she distributed it through AMC Theatres.

SURPRISING FACT
In its first weekend alone, the Eras Tour movie cemented its place as the highest-grossing concert film, beating out the $73 million lifetime gross of the “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” movie from 2011 and the $72 million “This Is It” film from Michael Jackson.
