Miss Americana herself Taylor Swift recently received a shout-out from none other than legendary director Christopher Nolan, who praised the singer for the way she chose to release her new blockbuster concert movieThe Eras Tour.
During aCity University of New York eventon October 11, just a few days before Swift’s The Eras Tour opened in theaters, the director discussed the singer’s choice to bypass major Hollywood streamers and studios and partner directly with AMC Theatres to distribute the film instead.
“Taylor Swift is about to show the studios because her concert film is not being distributed by the studios, it’s being distributed by a theater owner, AMC, and it’s going to make an enormous amount of money,” theOppenheimerdirector said. “And this is the thing, [theatrical exhibition is] a format and a way of seeing things and sharing stories, or sharing experiences, that’s incredibly valuable. And if [the studios] don’t want it, somebody else will. So that’s just the truth of it.”
Nolan himself is no stranger to this year’s stream of movie success, with his newest box office buster Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy opening to $942 million at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing biopic in film history.
