“On behalf of AMC Theatres and the entire theatrical exhibition industry, I extend our sincerest appreciation to the iconic Taylor Swift for bringing her brilliance and magic to movie theatres this weekend,” AMC’s CEO Adam Aron said in a statement. “Her vision to add a cinematic element to her incredible album debut was nothing less than a triumph.”
Her newest theatrical effort, “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” is dancing to the top of box office charts with $33 million over the weekend. The “cinematic experience,” as the project has been dubbed, collected another $13 million at the international box office for a global total of $46 million.
Elsewhere at the box office, audiences couldn’t smell what the Rock was cooking. This weekend’s other newcomer, Dwayne Johnson’s R-rated sports drama “The Smashing Machine,” cratered in third place with $6 million from 3,345 venues.
Second place was Leonardo DiCaprio’s comedic action epic “One Battle After Another” with $10.3 million from 3,634 theaters, declining 53% from its debut. So far, the film has earned $41 million in North America and $101.7 million globally. On one hand, it’s officially the highest-grossing film of director Paul Thomas Anderson’s career, overtaking 2007’s Western “There Will Be Blood” ($76.4 million globally). On the other, “One Battle” cost above $130 million to produce and doesn’t seem to have the staying power needed to justify its outsized budget.

The video that Swift screened just premiered online and pays homage to the days of old Hollywood:

The Rock movie looked okay, I might watch it later when I can do it for free at the comfort of my own home.
The Rock is as good an actor as Stallone. Both are rich. Who will criticize?
The only “Swift” that interests me are the Swift Boat Warriors.
Dwayne “Go Woke Go Broke” Johnson, Democrat stooge.
Leftist reviewers are portraying One Battle as an anti-MAGA film

What is a movie theater? I vaguely remember going to them years ago.
$33 million tops box office. I suppose that’s somewhat decent if the costs to make it were modest but overall I’m thinking this is more of a sinking of theatrical movies in general. The less money overall that Hollyweird is making the better IMHO. Their influence is thus also waning.
Small town here with a modernized 102 year old theater that sells popcrn and beer. Usually packed on weekends.
Weird ending...but she is a marketeer
I was wondering why our local theater had "Taylor Swift" on their marquee and I'm not sure how much of a visionary she is, I recall watching both of The Beatles movies, "A Hard Days Night" and "Help" in a theater in the 1960s.
I really like it! I was not a fan of her musically, but her recent material is warming me up to her.
I have never heard one line of a Taylor Swift song, nor have any desire to do so. Maybe she has a good voice; I wouldn’t know.
🥱
She endorsed Kamala and denounced Trump.
I resent her being discussed on this site.
Her voice is “ok”, her music is pretty generic, her lyrics are abysmal.
Stallone is a conservative and well loved by his fans. The Rock is a woke clown who puts his finger in the wind and caves on every issue. Stallone has staying power whereas The Rock doesn't really have a loyal constituency.
I kid, I kid. They will hit up ChatGPT.
