K-pop group BTS have announced their new concert film, BTS: Yet To Come, is heading to Prime Video this autumn. More below…
With the frankly alarming success of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film last weekend (sparking a few cross words about cinema etiquette), another of the world’s biggest pop artists have announced the worldwide debut of their Asiad Main Stadium gig in Busan last year.
Arriving on Prime Video on 9 November, the film includes 19 of the seven-member band’s biggest hits. We’ve heard all of them, obviously, because we’re very cool and interesting. Tracks like ‘Dynamite,’ ‘Butter,’ ‘RUN,’ ‘MIC Drop’ and ‘Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment).’
All this comes in a very strange moment for the film industry. With Swift leading the charge with her box office-breaking tour, and A24’s re-release of Stop Making Sense in the States attracting the cinephile crowd, the concert movie has rarely been in a stronger position. With the Hollywood Actors’ strike still ongoing, too, these sort of events could be the key to keeping cinemas and streaming audiences sated with event-level content for the foreseeable future.
Co-produced by Trafalgar Releasing, who also handled the international release of The Eras Tour, Yet To Come also had a small theatrical release in February, raking in $29million globally. Not quite the $126million opening weekend the Swifties managed to conjure up, but in a box office landscape struggling to find a new workhorse after successive underperforming blockbusters, there’s every chance this sort of thing could become a much more common sight in the future.
“We are thrilled to partner with HYBE in welcoming BTS: Yet to Come to Prime Video,” said David Simonsen, director of Prime Video Southeast Asia. “We know the popularity of high-quality Korean content worldwide and we look forward to delighting consumers around the globe with BTS: Yet to Come. We are excited to see the concert movie and this genre find new audiences from different countries on Prime Video.”
