Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert film has become a box office blockbuster a week before hitting cinemas.
Global advance ticket sales have topped $100m (£82m) and its demand has been incredible from the moment it was first announced, BBC news report said.
The distributor AMC said it took less than 24 hours for the movie to beat its record for the highest one-day sales, making it the most profitable concert film in history, overtaking Justin Bieber's Never Say Never.
The Canadian singer's movie, which mixed documentary footage with live performance, made $99m (£81m) in 2011.
Swift's global tour, which is scheduled to continue until late 2024, is also on track to become the biggest in history.
Stadium ticket sales could reach $1.4bn which would break the record currently held by Elton John for his farewell tour.
The film of the Eras tour is due to be released in cinemas in more than 100 countries next Friday.
In addition to advance ticket sales, the film could see another $100m of box office takings in North America on its opening weekend, analysts estimate.
Five films - including Barbie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - have generated more than $100m in their North America debut this year.
In August, Spotify said Swift broke another record, becoming the first female artist in the streaming platform's history to reach 100 million monthly listeners.
