Shakei it off, Taylor Swift fans! As Swifites around the world prepare to watch the Eras Tour concert film, released in cinemas on October 13, 2023, AMC Theatres have released a list of rules that anyone attending a screening must follow.
The list includes no dancing on seats or in the aisles, and no recording of the screen. AMC is leaning into the fandom of it all though, encouraging fans to wear and swap friendship bracelets, and sharing that, despite it normally being a major cinema etiquette blunder, fans can "feel free to take selfies and group photos" while watching the screening.

The level of security hints at an appearance by 33-year-old Taylor as well although she has not yet confirmed or denied her attendance.
The 'Lavender Haze' singer's concert movie has become a box office phenomenon, as this week it was announced that global ticket sales have topped $100 million the week before its release, making it the most profitable concert film in history. Data analysts have predicted the film may even rake in another $100million during its opening weekend.
"The tour isn’t the only thing we’re taking worldwide," Taylor wrote on social media p;atofrm in September, confirming the release would be global and not just limited to North America.
"Been so excited to tell you all that The Eras Tour concert film is now officially coming to theaters WORLDWIDE on Oct 13!"

She will visit South America for several tour dates before another break for Christmas. Taylor will then hit Australia, Asia, and Europe in 2023 before returning to the US for several more city dates.
The three-hour long show features over 45 songs spanning all ten albums from Taylor's 17-year career, and sees the 33-year-old celebrate her eras with show-stopping outfit changes.

Taylor's first live tour since the end of the Reputation tour in 2018 was a triumphant return for the Grammy-winning singer.; the Eras Tour has since become a record breaking tour, as two million tickets were sold on November 15, 2022, the most tickets ever sold for an artist in a single day.
The show runs for almost three hours and thirty minutes, but the theater runtime is 2 hours and 48 minutes, potentially due to editing that will remove time that sees Taylor off stage making costume changes.
