Beyoncé wasn’t joking when she told the BeyHive that the Renaissance wasn’t over. The superstar announced in a voice-over on Instagram that her movie, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, distributed by AMC Theatres, is headed to the big screen in countries worldwide.
The Renaissance continues with the film making its way to theatres in Brazil, Italy, Thailand, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Hungary, Andorra, Romania, Bulgaria, and Mongolia, according to the video post on Instagram brought to viewers by two fictitious KNTY 4 News announcers.
Queen Bey prefaced the big announcement, saying to fans, “… Y’all didn’t have to break my website. But I told y’all the Renaissance is not over.” Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s production company, continues the film version of the concert that, according to Variety, brought in around $600 million in revenue during her more than 50-stop tour that began in May 2023.
Concert venues buzzed with more than 2.7 million fans as the tour “created a sanctuary for freedom and shared shared joy,” the website added.
A description of the motion picture event, according to the website, said viewers can expect to witness “the journey of Renaissance World Tour, from its inception to the opening in Stockholm, Sweden, to the f
inale in Kansas City, Missouri.” It continued, “It is about Beyoncé’s intention, hard work, involvement in every aspect of the production, her creative mind and purpose to create her legacy, and master her craft.” It was “received with extraordinary acclaim,” according to the website.The impact of the concert experience is still on the minds of fans. Some fans even initially thought the Instagram video would announce an extension of the concert tour. One fan wrote, “At a theatre near you 💔. I was literally hoping for an extended tour. I was ready to sell my house and car, ma’am, 😂.”
In North America, box offices sold $21 million in tickets priced between $22 and $32, according to Billboard as of Dec. 3, making it the number one seller at the time.
