Do concert films like Renaissance and The Eras Tour provide a solution to box office woes?
from Cup of Tea Critiques Podcast · host COTC Team
Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour were undoubtedly huge successes, and the decision to transform them into concert films was genius. For about forty years, live concerts by superstar artists have been plagued with exorbitant ticket prices. Concert films just might be a solution to this misery, since the cinematized productions remove the ticketing barriers for fans who dream of seeing their favorite artists.
