‘Renaissance: a Film by Beyonce’ not only met critics’ prediction of ending its opening weekend as the box office’s biggest draw but also made history in the process.
Details inside.
Currently the #1 movie in the U.S., the documentary – written, produced, and directed by Bey – grossed $22 million at the domestic box office over the December 1 weekend.
Outpacing previous champs like ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,’ ‘Godzilla,’ and others, the $22 million opening of the GRAMMY winner’s latest film marks a dynamic debut for what’s historically a slow post-Thanksgiving week at the movies.
For context, the last time a motion picture (of any genre) opened as high in early December was Tom Cruise’s 2003 hit ‘The Last Samurai’ ($24.3 million).
Of note, ‘Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce’ joins Michael Jackson‘s ‘This Is It’ (2009) as the two biggest openings of concert films starring acts of color of all-time. ‘It’ raked in a cool $23 million its inaugural weekend, while ‘Renaissance’ stands as the only movie of its ilk led by a woman of color to even collect $1M in box office receipts.
Biggest Openings of All-Time (Concert Films/Documentaries)
(as of time reported)
Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ – $92M
Miley Cyrus’ ‘Hannah Montana/Best of Both Worlds’ – $31M
Justin Bieber’s ‘Never Say Never’ – $29M
Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ – $23M
Beyonce’s ‘Renaissance’ – $22M
Lies and it feel short over seas just 6.4 million
It wasn’t released in most territories yet.
It has not been released GLOBALLY.
Yur clearly just a HATER that will rejoice over any sign of failure 😆 🤣
Couldn’t beat MJ or Taylor but apparently she’s the biggest. Her numbers are only high when she can control it e.g her tour and tidal stats. She’s not as popular as social media makes out
She’s popular enough for you to run in here before her fans and be the second comment, flip flip flopping flip flopping ass b*^ch!
MJ didn’t have to worry about S-xism like 🐝 does and Taylor makes DISNEY POP and is WHITE.
While congrats on the number one, the numbers are disappointing. IMO, her beloved Beyhive let her down. That film should have easily done 40 million. And will drop like a stone next week.
That being said, the movie cost practically nothing to make since the tour and filming were happening anyway so it’s almost pure profit. AMC and Beyonce are most likely very happy.
There seems to be a disconnect between what was stated clear as day in the post and what your brain has processed.
This film released during a week which is traditionally slow for films of ALL genres. IF Taylor released this same date her sales wouldnt have been near that 90 mill. No films sell well that weekend ust after Thanksgiving. No one goes cinema then.
Within that context (which you purposely ignored or failed to understand) the film is the highest grossing that weekend in the last 20 years.
Because of ABC’s release schedule, ABC gave her the choice of releasing that weekend or having to wait till Spring 2024. Not wanting to lose the momentum built by the tour, she went for last weekend at the expense of box office opening gross.
Engage your brain before you speak. That will be all.
So you mean to tell me THE so called QUEEN, the CELEBRITY OF CELEBRITIES, BEYZUS, KING BEY and whatever other foolish titles her PR machine gives her grosses nearly 100 million less than Taylor Swift??? Her international numbers are horrible too. Why is she always trailing behind others when she’s supposed to be this God on earth. The math just isn’t mathing!!!
Steve I think you have more pressing matters to be concerned with like your industry pass around daughter and golddigging heroin queen wife.
Beyonce did these numbers without POP…
By instead being ANTI POP
Taylor is 100% DISNEY/POP
If someone else grossed 1 billion in debut weekend, Taylor’s numbers are STILL high, the same is true for 🐝

With all her hype, propaganda and praises from the music critic her movie is a massive FLOP
Almost 100 million dollars less than Queen Taylor’s movie
Yonce is really a FRAUD #smokesandmirrors
Your attempt at trolling is a flop. You don’t believe the BS you typed yourself. “Monday I’m overrated , Tuesday on my d***!” Byeeeeee

Taylor is 100% DISNEY/POP

Soooo basically what you’re saying is her movie flopped🤣🤣🤣🤣 No matter how you try to spin it sales wise it didn’t live up to expectations. It’s gonna do even worse next week.
You don’t know what the “expectations” were. Tickets for Renaissance are over $20 and it’s the holiday season. She slayed as she always does. You big mad!
$22 million is a lot for 3 days.
It’s like going GOLD (500K) in 3 days.
25 years into her career, still relevant, still shattering records, still selling out STADIUMS. 99% of her peers can barely sell out ballrooms and theaters. HER POWER💯
💯
The film will gross over $60 Million Domestic & over $100 Million Globally. Not bad for a Hasbeyn who makes GHETTO K’HIA TRAP 🎶
NO IT WONT 😭
How y’all let swifties over take yall…. beehive where you at!? That’s a huge difference in the amount each of them made. EMBARRASSING!!
$22 million in 3 days for a Hasbeyn R&B TRAP star is MASSIVE. 🐝 Trailer Stiff relies on WHITE PRIVILEGE & safe DISNEY POP. 💯

WOW
TS fans are nasty, YT FAGUETTES lol
Jesus
This is no shade to her but it did not break records for the month of December. It was for the first WEEKEND of December. A weekend when movies typically don’t come out. As usual, this gossip rag is trying to overhype something. Michael Jackson’s movie made more. Still good numbers but stop overhyping everything she does.
I think it’s funny haters acting like the fact that 🐝 is Entirely NON-TRADITIONAL is irrelevant (like it doesn’t negatively affect ticket sales/streams/demand) 💯 😆 🤣
FLOP
Exactly you notice Ms tina aint make no big deal lol they actually have removed it form certain theaters it is what it is lol
You are coping. Retards like you always talking about sexism. Btw, there’s a fuckton more of sexism toward men, but do go off. That talking point also fails to explain why women aren’t coming out in breaking numbers to watch the queen w****. The b**** ain’t gonna put you in her next show or let you sing on her song. COPIUM, LMAAAAAAAAAAO. Her film is flop, plain and simple.
#1 single
#1 album
#1 tour
#1 movie
….25 years into her career. TWENTY-FIVE. Flop where? You b****** on here are deluded. Your lazy drugged up flop favs wishes they could follow the QUEENS blueprint but they could never. 💋
