Billie Eilish 3D Concert Film Opens With $20.1 Million Worldwide

Heavy 3D turnout underscores a premium-theater push that delays streaming.

Overview

  • The concert film, co-directed by Billie Eilish and James Cameron, opened Friday, May 8, and grossed about $7.5 million in the U.S. and $20.1 million worldwide through Sunday.
  • About 88% of moviegoers chose 3D screenings, and roughly 25% of ticket sales came from premium large-format auditoriums such as Dolby Vision.
  • The launch trails Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour but still ranks third for concert film openings this decade, according to IndieWire’s box-office tally.
  • Paramount’s new 45-day theatrical minimum points to a PVOD debut projected for June 23 and a likely Paramount+ date around July 21, based on Forbes’ release-pattern analysis.
  • India’s release has been delayed after the film board requested cuts, with local reports indicating a new target of May 15 if certification is granted.
