Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Concert Film Expected to Make $30M Box Office Splash
As the highly anticipated release of Beyoncé’s concert film, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” approaches, industry experts are projecting a significant box office opening for the global superstar.
According to reports from Deadline, the film is poised to make a major impact, with a projected global opening ranging between $30 million to $40 million. The film is set to premiere in theatres on Thursday, November 30, at 7 pm local time, with a weekend run before transitioning to Video On Demand (VOD) on December 13.
The final pre-release trailer of the movie offers a glimpse into the personal moments of Beyoncé’s life, featuring her six-year-old daughter, Rumi Carter. The teaser captures backstage footage, including Rumi recording her mother and grandfather, Matthew Knowles, with a phone.
In one poignant moment from the teaser, Beyoncé reflects on the challenges of motherhood, emphasizing the significance of time. She states, “Time is my biggest obstacle. It’s impossible to not realize how fast it’s going when you’re looking through the eyes of your children. I think about all of my heroes and all that they endured — I know that all of my struggles and sacrifices are opening the door for the next. They are the new beginning.”
The film had its star-studded premiere at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills, California, on Saturday, November 25. However, the celebration was not without controversy, as online commenters criticized Beyoncé’s appearance, accusing her of trying to look like a white woman.
In response to the criticism, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Beyoncé’s mother, took to Instagram to address the negativity surrounding her daughter’s appearance. Knowles-Lawson expressed frustration with the “stupid ignorant self-hating racist statements” and defended Beyoncé’s artistic choices, emphasizing the thematic elements of the film.
The anticipated success of “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” not only highlights the global icon’s enduring popularity but also emphasizes the impact of her artistry on the entertainment industry. The film’s opening weekend is expected to draw fans eager to experience Beyoncé’s latest cinematic endeavor on the big screen.
