NEW YORK CITY: A documentary chronicling Beyoncé's just-concluded 39-city Renaissance World Tour will premiere in North American theaters on December 1, AMC Theaters announced on Monday.
The film adds a second blockbuster from a music superstar to a fall slate of movies that's been slightly thinned out by the ongoing Hollywood actors' strike. Like "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour," which debuts worldwide on October 13, "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé" will be released directly by the American movie theater chain without studio involvement.
Tickets will start at $22 plus tax and the film will run for a minimum of four weeks.
Beyoncé's previous films include the acclaimed 2019 Netflix film "Homecoming," which captured her Coachella performance in 2018. In the deals with AMC, Beyoncé and Swift are both reported to be receiving at least 50 percent of ticket sales.
The film charts Beyoncé's tour on behalf of her 2022 Grammy-winning album "Renaissance." It mixes concert footage and elements of a visual album while trailing the tour from its launch in Sweden's capital Stockholm in May to the finale in Kansas City, Missouri on Sunday night.
Over the course of five months, some 2.7 million concertgoers attended. The tour has grossed close to $500 million, according to Billboard magazine.
"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," the film's description reads.
Beyoncé released a trailer on her Instagram account with the message: "Be careful what you ask for, 'cause I just might comply."
