"Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé" defied AMC's best attempts to break the spirit of theatergoers, shattering box office records in its debut weekend.
The BeyHive continued to sway down the aisle of every performance despite the theater company's severe code of conduct.
But now there are a lot of worries for individuals who want to watch the concert visual after a post went viral on X (previously Twitter) raising concerns about the restricted screening access.
The first is the duration of Beyoncé's Renaissance film's theatrical run. NME reports that Sunday, December 10 is anticipated to be the last day in US and UK theaters.
The timetable listed on AMC's official movie webpage appears to confirm this. Generally speaking, a picture plays in theaters for twelve to twenty weeks, depending on the production. Regarding Taylor Swift, her The Eras Tour event is supposedly going to be available for thirteen weeks at select AMC theaters.

Despite having different timetables, Swift and Beyoncé's movies have one thing in common: they are both concert pieces that are mostly screened on the weekends (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays).
For years, Beyoncé has been a reclusive celebrity who is much happier imposing her devoted Hive project on others than speaking for herself.
This makes her current concert documentary's behind-the-scenes shots, which are geared so heavily on creating closeness, pretty intriguing.
One can only think back to earlier endeavors like the arduously produced Life Is But a Dream in 2013 and the more effectively executed Homecoming in 2019.
From this vantage point, she uses the appearance of revelation created by feigned intimacy as a kind of money, even while she is actually keeping her distance like a fist.
Beyoncé presents herself as a personable person who we can and should relate to rather than as a divinity giving her devoted followers a glimpse of mankind.
Everything is a performance for Beyoncé, who is renowned for filming herself doing everything and keeping the footage in a temperature-controlled vault. Each performance is just a way for her brand to grow.
Following the excitement behind Taylor Swift's concert film, which had fans dressed up, singing along, and dancing in the aisles, AMC has released some very specific instructions for those who plan to queue up for Beyoncé's Renaissance launch this weekend.
AMC has told the BeyHive that they are more than welcome - encouraged, even - to get decked out. "We want to see your amazing outfits!" the theater chain proclaims, suggesting the #RenaissanceTheFilm hashtag for fans' shareable moments. But there's a caveat. "Please DO NOT take pictures or record while the film is playing."
