Taylor Swift rocked to the top of the box office this weekend, beating out two major stars.
With just three days in theaters, the theatrical release party of Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” took the top spot of the weekend box office. The AMC Theatres release was announced just two weeks ago and features music videos and behind-the-scenes footage. This success follows her “Eras Tour” concert film, which opened to $96 million nearly two years ago.
The “Fate of Ophelia” singer’s theatrical event made $34 million over the weekend, thanks to Swifties packing theaters across the country to be the first to hear her new songs and watch a new music video. It was a special AMC release, which only played in theaters from Oct. 3-5.
Following in second place was the Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Thomas Anderson film, “One Battle After Another,” which took home $11 million in its second week in theaters.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s “The Smashing Machine” debuted in third place with $6 million, which Variety reported as a “career-worst debut” for the star. Projected ticket sales for the $50 million film were expected to be between $8 million – $15 million.
In the meantime, “Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie,” which is based on the Netflix series “Gabby’s Dollhouse,” made $5.2 million. That movie was released on Sept. 26.
