What’s the Movie About?

According to the official summary, the film takes us behind the scenes of Beyoncé’s world tour and showcases her intention, hard work, and involvement in every aspect of the production. It also highlights her creative mind and her dedication to creating her legacy. In the trailers, we catch glimpses of Beyoncé both on and off stage, providing a glimpse into her life as a mother and a performer.

When and Where Can I See It?

The film officially releases on Friday, December 1, but some theaters are offering Thursday evening showings. Tickets will vary in price depending on the theater, but they are expected to sell quickly. In fact, first day presales for tickets were estimated to be as high as $7 million back in October.

Didn’t Taylor Swift Also Have a Concert Film This Year?

Yes, Taylor Swift released her concert film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” in October. It became the highest-grossing concert film domestically for an opening weekend, bringing in $96 million, according to AMC. However, while Swift’s film was filmed over three nights during her residency in Los Angeles, Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” film covers her extensive 56-show tour across Europe and North America. Both artists chose to distribute their films directly through AMC Theatres, bypassing traditional Hollywood distributors to secure better deals for themselves and their teams.

What Should I Wear?

While there hasn’t been any official dress code announced by Beyoncé herself, fans attending her “Renaissance” shows were asked to wear all silver as part of her “House of Chrome” theme. If you’re attending the film on opening weekend, expect to see fans dressed in their best “Alien Superstar” outfits, reliving the magical experience of Beyoncé’s live performances. And don’t forget to make a restroom pitstop before the show!

Why Are Some People Boycotting the Film?

Although there is much excitement surrounding “Renaissance,” the film has also faced some criticism. Some fans have expressed their disappointment that the movie will be shown worldwide, including in Israel. This has led to calls for Beyoncé to speak out against Israel, with some fans even threatening to give up their movie tickets if she remains silent. Beyoncé has yet to respond publicly to these comments.

With its intimate look into Beyoncé’s life as a performer and a mother, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience. Get ready to be immersed in the world of Queen Bey as she takes the stage and shares her passion and dedication with the world.
