AMC’s Adam Aron promised to deliver more concert experiences, and now, AMC Theatres, in collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision, is set to release Usher: Rendezvous in Paris on September 12. This concert film, directed by Anthony Mandler, captures the 8-time Grammy winner during Paris Fashion Week at La Seine Musicale. The movie is scheduled for a limited 4-day weekend global run at 2,000 cinemas worldwide, with 1,000 theaters in the U.S.
Unlike AMC’s previous concert movie release featuring Taylor Swift, which was a huge success, Usher: Rendezvous in Paris faces a competitive domestic box office landscape. With rival wide entries like Lionsgate’s Dave Bautista action comedy and Blumhouse/Universal’s Speak No Evil also hitting theaters around the same time, the success of Usher’s concert film remains to be seen. The timing of the release, amidst other big releases, adds to the challenge for the film to make a mark at the box office.
Usher: Rendezvous in Paris promises to take fans on a musical journey spanning the artist’s three-decade career. The film includes chart-topping hits like “Yeah!”, “My Boo”, and “Love In This Club”. In addition to the lavish stage performance captured on screen, the movie will offer a docu-sensibility, providing viewers with a deeper look into Usher’s artistry and his experience performing in Paris.
Screening details and ticketing for Usher: Rendezvous in Paris will be available on UsherinParis.com on August 6. The film aims to bring Usher’s unparalleled concert experience to movie theaters worldwide, giving fans who couldn’t attend the live event a chance to witness the magic of his performance. Usher himself expressed his excitement about sharing this special experience with his fans through the medium of film.
Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC Theatres, emphasized the significance of bringing Usher’s concert film to cinemas, highlighting the artist’s ability to captivate audiences globally. Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, echoed this sentiment, noting that Usher’s energy and talent make him the perfect artist to create a global cinematic experience.
