LOS ANGELES, Aug 31 (Reuters) - After crushing records
with her billion-dollar concert tour, pop superstar Taylor Swift
is set to light up the big screen with a documentary about the
event that dominated the music scene this summer.
    "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" will play in cinemas in North
America starting Oct. 13, the "Anti-Hero" singer announced on X,
formerly Twitter, on Thursday.
    "The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric
experience of my life so far and I'm overjoyed to tell you that
it’ll be coming to the big screen soon," Swift said.
    "Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing
encouraged," she added.
    The move by Swift provides movie theater chains such as AMC
Entertainment  AMC.N , Cineplex  CGX.TO  and Cinemark  CNK.N 
with a high-profile title to help fill gaps caused by the actors
and writers strikes in Hollywood.
    Warner Bros  WBD.O , for example, recently delayed the
highly anticipated November release of "Dune: Part Two" until
the spring because striking actors will not promote the sci-fi
sequel.
    Adult tickets for Swift's documentary cost $19.89 each, a
nod to Swift's "1989" album, and children's tickets will cost
$13.13.
