AMC Theatres, in collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision, has announced the release of the highly anticipated concert film, Usher: Rendezvous in Paris. This cinematic experience will be hitting theaters worldwide on September 12 for a limited 4-day weekend run. The movie, directed by Anthony Mandler, captures the legendary 8-time Grammy winner during Paris Fashion Week at La Seine Musicale. With a promise of booking at 2,000 cinemas globally, including 1,000 theaters in the US, this film is set to captivate audiences around the world.
Unlike AMC’s previous concert movie release, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Usher: Rendezvous in Paris faces a more competitive landscape at the domestic box office. Opening against rival wide entries such as Lionsgate’s Dave Bautista action comedy The Killer’s Game and Blumhouse/Universal’s Speak No Evil, this concert film will have to prove its worth in the midst of fierce competition. However, with Usher’s chart-topping hits and three-decade career showcased on screen, there is no doubt that fans will flock to theaters to witness this unique cinematic experience.
Usher: Rendezvous in Paris promises not only a lavish stage performance but also a docu-sensibility similar to Renaissances. The film aims to give audiences an inside look into Usher’s world, from his electrifying live performances to the dedication and hard work that goes into creating a show of this magnitude. Fans who were unable to attend the event in person will now have the opportunity to experience the magic of Paris Fashion Week through Usher’s eyes.
With worldwide screenings scheduled and ticketing information available on UsherinParis.com starting August 6, fans from all corners of the globe will have the chance to witness Usher’s unparalleled talent on the big screen. The film is a production of Arcovision, Kingdom Films, and Laffitte Group Productions, with Usher Raymond himself serving as a producer alongside Ron Laffitte and Anthony Mandler. The partnership between Trafalgar Releasing, Sony Music Vision, and AMC Theatres Distribution ensures that this concert film will reach audiences on a global scale.
