Taylor Swift's Eras concert film continues to be a huge success in the US but Swifties on this side of the pond are making sure that the tour movie is dominating the box office in the UK and Ireland. The Grammy winner's film has managed to bag £5.7 million since its release at the end of last week, according to numbers from Comscore, and could be on track to surpass Michael Jackson's This Is It, which currently holds the record for the highest-grossing concert film in the UK and Ireland at £9.8 million. The film has no doubt got British fans in the mood for her Eras live shows, which will begin in the UK in June.
