Early North American box office tracking data for Eras Tour indicates that the film will debut to a whopping $75 million, with some more enthusiastic analysts predicting that the opening weekend numbers would exceed $100 million, with an upper limit of $125 million. With a global distribution on top of the early North American tracking statistics, Eras Tour has a good chance of shattering all concert film box office records.
