AMC theaters have made an exciting announcement about the upcoming release of Usher’s concert film, Rendezvous in Paris. Partnering with Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision, this film is set to hit the screens on September 12 for a limited 4-day weekend global run. Capturing the essence of the 8-time Grammy winner during Paris Fashion week at La Seine Musicale, this movie will be showcased at 2,000 cinemas worldwide, with 1,000 theaters in the United States alone.
Unlike AMC’s previous concert film release featuring Taylor Swift, which reaped massive financial success, Usher: Rendezvous in Paris enters the theatrical scene at a competitive time, especially following the release of Warner Bros.’ Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice and alongside rival wide entries such as Lionsgate’s Dave Bautista action comedy The Killer’s Game and Blumhouse/Universal’s Speak No Evil. This makes the success of Usher’s concert film uncertain, given the tough competition it faces.
Usher: Rendezvous in Paris promises to take the audience on a musical journey through the 80 million record-selling performer’s chart-topping hits spanning his three-decade career. From iconic songs like “Yeah!”, “My Boo”, to “Love In This Club”, fans can expect to relive Usher’s greatest hits in a lavish stage performance captured on screen. Additionally, the film will offer a docu-sensibility, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at Usher’s life and career similar to his previous concert film, Renaissance.
Fans eager to witness Usher’s electrifying performance on the big screen can mark their calendars as worldwide screening details and ticketing information will be available at UsherinParis.com on August 6 at 9:00 a.m. ET / 6:00 a.m. PT. This not only gives fans a chance to secure their seats but also builds anticipation for the global release of the concert film.
