Christopher Nolan has praised Taylor Swift for her impact on the global box office following the release of her "Eras Tour" film, which quickly became the highest-grossing concert film in history following its release last week.
"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," Nolan said, according to Variety. As Variety noted, Swift self-produced the film and struck a deal with AMC Theatres that entitles her to approximately 57% of the ticket sales, while AMC collects a small distribution fee.
"Any time a film succeeds that wasn’t expected to succeed, it’s an encouraging thing for Hollywood and it’s encouraging for filmmakers," Nolan said while reflecting on his own film's success. "There’s a tension in Hollywood between the familiar and what is predicted to make money — that’s the meat and potatoes of how the studios stay in business — and the desire among audiences for something new, something fresh.
