Twenty One Pilots, Elvis Live Films Hit Top Five at Box Office

It was a rocking weekend at the box office, with two music-focused films hitting the top five at theaters. Coming in at No. 4 was Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined — Live in Mexico City, which according to Deadline raked in $3.7 million on 836 screens; $2 million of that came from 270 IMAX screenings after the film debut exclusively in the large format on Wednesday.

The two-hour film captures the Columbus, Ohio-bred duo’s biggest concert to date, a sold-out show for more than 65,000 fans at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City during the band’s 2024-2025 Clancy world tour. The band’s first full-length concert film features a mix of live footage, reactions from fans in the audience and behind-the-scenes footage showing singer/guitarist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun getting ready for the show.

“You get the giant, full-color scope of the event and then it goes down to letterbox with a different aspect ratio … I always say the show is from the fan’s perspective and the documentary [footage] is from Tyler and Josh’s perspective,” director Mark Eshleman told Billboard of the quieter moments where fans can see the duo talk about their anxieties and nerves before taking the stage and confidently rocking the giant soccer stadium.

Coming in at No. 5 was the new Baz Luhrmann documentary EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, which took in $3.5 million on 1,940 screens in a big second week expansion; so far the doc has earned $7.8 million. The combo documentary/concert film blends previously unreleased footage from the late rock icon’s legendary Las Vegas residency in the 1970s, as well as Elvis on the road, footage from the Graceland archives and recordings of Presley that Luhrmann discovered during research for the 2022 Elvis movie.
