JAKARTA - Taylor Swift's concert film, The Eras Tour has aired in various countries, but it has been revealed that this film is only planned to be released in China in December or January 2024.

Launching Variety, this film is entering the preliminary stage of the Chinese authorities. Reportedly, imports of foreign films had to go through the pre-examination stage before it was broadcast to the public.

Reportedly, this film is said to be a discussion for imported by Alibaba Pictures, which is one of the divisions of e-commerce company Alibaba. In addition, Wanda Films as one of the largest cinema networks in China also plans to bring this film.

Wanda Films has collaborated with AMC Theaters, a cinema chain that is the production house for The Eras Tour.

This release is not only regular broadcast but is also broadcast in various formats such as IMAX and Dolby.

A Chinese version of The Eras Tour was circulated on the internet. In the poster, it says the film will air in the first half of January.

Over the years, all foreign films imported into China had to go through the pre-examination process. The broadcast also has a profit-sharing system concept with state-owned enterprises, while importing companies are supporters.

If the film The Eras Tour is allowed to air in December, maybe this film will compete with Wonka and Aquaman 2 - two tentpole films that have a broadcast permit. They are also competing with a number of local releases.

Taylor Swift's fans are also huge in China where Swift is referred to as a global phenomenon. This was proven when he appeared on the Alibaba show in Shanghai.

The Eras Tour film also grossed $230 million and put Taylor Swift as a musician with the most successful concert film sales.
