Beyoncé’s highly anticipated concert film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, is set to open in theaters on December 1st, and it has the potential to shatter box office records. The film is expected to earn between $20 million and $25 million in its opening weekend, which would mark the biggest opening for a movie during the first weekend of December in 20 years, since Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai ($24.3 million), not adjusted for inflation.
Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé is a part concert film and part documentary that showcases Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed Renaissance World Tour, as well as delves into the behind-the-scenes making of the chart-topping and Grammy-winning album that initiated it all. The film is directed, written, and produced by Beyoncé herself, and it features a host of special guests, including Jay-Z, daughter Blue Ivy Carter, and mother Tina Knowles-Lawson.
