Beyoncé RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR - Kansas City

Last year, Beyonce dropped her highly-anticipated new album Renaissance to rave reviews from critics and fans alike.

Towards the end of her tour, she announced that the live experience was being captured in a tour film so fans could relive their experiences at the movie theater.

The film hit theaters over the weekend coming about a month after Taylor Swift took the silver screen. The Eras Tour film itself has already soared pass $250 million at the box office and Beyonce is already well on the way to racking up millions of its own. The film officially opened with a $21 million box office in its first weekend. Those numbers are strong for a concert film any time of year, but in particular for the typically slow early December window for new films. According to Uproxx, it's the first film released in the first weekend of December to cross the $20 million threshold since The Last Samurai in 2003. Check out even more details on the film below.
