AMC Theatres CEO, Adam Aron, recently made a promise to release more concert films to the public, and he is making good on that pledge with the upcoming release of Usher: Rendezvous in Paris. Teaming up with Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision, the film is set to hit theaters on September 12 for a limited 4-day weekend global run.
Directed by Anthony Mandler, the movie captures the 8x Grammy winner during Paris Fashion week at La Seine Musicale. This highly anticipated film will be shown at 2,000 cinemas worldwide, including 1,000 theaters in the United States. Usher: Rendezvous in Paris is set to play at AMC and Odeon locations, as well as various other theaters around the globe.
Comparisons to Previous Releases
Unlike AMC’s first concert movie release, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Usher: Rendezvous in Paris is entering the market at a much more competitive time. With other major releases such as Warner Bros.’ Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice hitting theaters around the same time, Usher’s film will have to find its place among a crowded box office.
The film will feature some of Usher’s chart-topping hits from his three-decade long career, including songs like “Yeah!”, “My Boo”, and “Love In This Club”. In addition to the electrifying stage performance, the movie will also offer a glimpse into the docu-sensibility of Usher’s life, similar to his previous film, Renaissance.
Fans eager to catch Usher: Rendezvous in Paris in theaters can find worldwide screening details and ticketing on UsherinParis.com starting on August 6. The website will go live at 9:00 a.m. ET / 6:00 a.m. PT, giving fans the chance to secure their seats for this exclusive concert experience.
Usher himself expressed his excitement about the upcoming release, stating, “Paris was a special experience for me as an entertainer and for my fans.” He added, “I hope those who weren’t able to make it in person get to experience how special it was.”
The collaboration between AMC Theatres, Trafalgar Releasing, and Sony Music Vision has been praised by industry experts. Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Theatres, commented, “Bringing his unparalleled concert experience to movie theatres for his fans around the world is a perfect fit for AMC Theatres Distribution.”
With a powerhouse team behind the production of Usher: Rendezvous in Paris, including directors, producers, and executives from various companies, the concert film is poised to be a global success. Fans of Usher and concert films alike can look forward to an immersive and unforgettable experience in theaters worldwide.
