Transcript

00:00 With her colossal global fan base, Taylor Swift is not only a chart-topping music sensation

00:05 but is now making waves in the film industry with her highly anticipated The Eros Tour.

00:11 While Swifties eagerly await her concert movie,

00:14 several production companies are feeling the pressure to adjust their film release schedules.

00:19 Most recently, John Cena's action comedy film Freelance announced a three-week delay in its

00:26 release date to avoid a head-to-head clash with The Exorcist Believer. Interestingly,

00:31 The Exorcist Believer had initially adjusted its release date to steer clear of what's being dubbed

00:38 the "Swift Effect." According to a report by a leading newspaper, The Eros Tour is poised to

00:45 outshine the combined opening week and earnings of all its six remaining competitors from September

00:52 22 to its release date on October 13. On one hand, movies like Expendables,

00:58 Gareth Edwards' groundbreaking science fiction project The Creator, Dump Money,

01:03 Paw Patrol, The Mighty Movie, Saw X, and The Exorcist Believer are collectively estimated

01:09 to earn approximately $68 million during their respective first weekend. In stark contrast,

01:16 The Eros Tour alone is projected to command an astounding $96 million or potentially even more.

01:23 As Taylor Swift's foray into the film industry gains momentum, it seems the entertainment world

01:29 is witnessing the "Swift Effect" not only in music but now on the silver screen, causing

01:34 other films to strategically adjust their release plans to navigate this cinematic phenomenon.
