Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' Shines at Box Office, Defying Expectations
TL;DR Summary
Beyoncé's concert film "Renaissance" has achieved the biggest opening at the North American box office for the early December period in two decades, grossing $21 million domestically. The film struggled overseas, however, earning only $6.4 million from 94 markets. The majority of ticket buyers in the US were female, and 52% were Black moviegoers. The film's success is a welcome boost for exhibitors during a traditionally slow weekend after Thanksgiving. "Renaissance" is the second concert film distributed by AMC Theatres, following Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour."
