       LOS ANGELES, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Taylor Swift, a pop
star known for shattering records, announced on Tuesday her
documentary film from her billion-dollar Eras concert tour will
be screening worldwide.
"The tour isn’t the only thing we’re taking worldwide ... ” the
“Anti-Hero” singer wrote on the social media platform Instagram.
    "Been so excited to tell you all that The Eras Tour concert
film is now officially coming to theaters WORLDWIDE on Oct 13!"
    Previously, Swift had said the movie, called "Taylor Swift:
The Eras Tour," would only be released in North America.
    The singer's film 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.
Swift’s film is expected to collect between $96 million and $145
million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend,
according to projections from Box Office Pro.
    Demand for the 12-time Grammy winner’s “Eras” film rivaled
the high interest garnered by large blockbuster franchises,
including Walt Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars.
    Adult tickets for Swift's documentary cost $19.89 each, a
nod to Swift's "1989" album. Children's tickets will cost
$13.13, a reference to the singer embracing 13 as her lucky
number.
On Nov. 1, 2022, Swift announced her Eras Tour— 53 shows played
in stadiums across the United States. The tour later expanded to
include 78 international dates.
