Taylor Swift returned to the big screen on October 3 with The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, a film tied to her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl. The three-day global theatrical run, showing exclusively at AMC Theaters until October 5, adds another layer to her growing list of creative ventures. The film includes behind-the-scenes moments, lyric videos, commentary from Swift herself, and the premiere of her music video for The Fate of Ophelia.
The Official Release Party of a Showgirl Rotten Tomatoes Score
The film has already garnered a strong reaction from audiences, debuting with a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The Official Release Party of a Showgirl didn’t have a critic score, but fans were all in admiration for Taylor Swift. Many appreciated the stories she shared before each song, saying it added new meaning, while others called the event a complete masterpiece. Some, however, advised younger fans to save their money for the album, feeling the experience was a bit overpriced.
The Official Release Party of a Showgirl Box Office Success
The early success mirrors its box-office performance, where it pulled in $15.8 million during its limited release, outperforming Dwayne Johnson’s drama The Smashing Machine ($2.7m), per Box Office Mojo. However, despite its short theatrical window and minimal marketing, the turnout proved once again how devoted Swift’s audience remains.
