Taylor Swift\u2019s The Official Release Party of a Showgirl<\/a><\/em> \u2014 the one-weekend-only film event that gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/a><\/em> \u2014 \u00a0is poised to hit Number One at the domestic box office, according to early projections.<\/p>\n The film, which screens in movie theaters from Oct. 3 through Oct. 5, is expected to rake in between $28 million and $32 million from 3,702 theaters, per estimates made by Swift\u2019s team and AMC Theatres, The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em> reports. Some distributors think it could potentially exceed $35 million.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n While the pop star\u2019s weekend-only theatrical event the ticket sales are impressive, Dwayne Johnson\u2019s The Smashing Machine<\/a><\/em>\u2018s debut draw has fallen short of expectations. The Smashing Machine<\/em> drew $2.7 million for its domestic debut on Friday, as THR <\/em>notes. It\u2019s projected to gross $6 million over the weekend, a far cry from the $12 million to $14 million the film was projected to bring in.<\/p>\n Swift\u2019s 90-minute, limited release film earned an A+ CinemaScore, mirroring the response from fans to Swift\u2019s 2023 history-making concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour<\/a><\/em><\/em>. In contrast, The Smashing Machine<\/em> earned a B- Cinemascore from moviegoers.<\/p>\n The pop star\u2019s box office reign this weekend is also notable in that Showgirl<\/em> is not a concert film nor a documentary in a classic sense. Instead, it features the premiere of the Swift-directed music video for \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d and behind-the-scenes footage from the video\u2019s set, alongside Swift sharing the stories behind the songs on her new album, and it also showcases lyric videos.<\/p>\n Swift conquered the box office previously with 2023\u2019s Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour<\/em> movie. The concert film grossed more than $261.6 million globally, becoming the highest-grossing concert film<\/a> and documentary ever.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
