Beyoncé, the music sensation, is bringing her epic world tour to the big screen at AMC Theatres!

Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour is set to make a cinematic splash, and fans are in for a treat. Reports suggest that the music icon is finalizing a deal to bring her globally acclaimed tour to the silver screen through none other than AMC Theatres. The news was first reported by Variety.

What has the BeyHive buzzing is the behind-the-scenes look at Beyoncé’s mind-blowing Renaissance tour performances. On her birthday, Queen Bey issued a unique request to her fans: dress in chrome-shimmering silver. The invitation was accepted, and hundreds of thousands of concertgoers transformed into a “shimmering human disco ball.”

The tour itself stands as a testament to Beyoncé’s unmatched prowess, ranking as her highest-grossing journey to date. Hollywood’s top agency, CAA, is managing the negotiations, and there’s fierce competition to collaborate with the superstar.

The cherry on top is the rumored incorporation of visuals from Beyoncé’s Renaissance album. While she teased music video-style content when the album dropped, the full visuals remained under wraps.

Securing tickets for the Renaissance World Tour was no easy feat, given the overwhelming demand. Now, it’s turning into a must-see movie. Insiders are hinting that the movie could hit theaters around December 1.

There’s also speculation that the movie might be a secret project Beyoncé worked on with director Nadia Lee Cohen. Cohen has previously directed Beyoncé’s music videos for “Formation,” “Sorry,” and “Hold Up.”

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the movie, which promises to be a cinematic celebration of Beyoncé’s artistry and mastery of live performance.

We’ll keep you updated on the latest news about the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour movie, so be sure to check back soon!

Beyoncé Is Reportedly Planning A ‘Renaissance World Tour’ Concert Film For Release In AMC Theatres

Beyoncé‘s Renaissance World Tour is wrapping up this weekend, but Beyhive members who weren’t able to get tickets — or simply wish to relive the concert experience — may get the chance to see the critically-acclaimed concert on screen.

According to a report from Variety, the Queen Bey is apparently in talks to deliver a concert film based on the Renaissance World Tour. Variety reports that the publication spoke with sources with knowledge of the project, who said that the film would premiere through AMC Theatres.

Another source reportedly told Variety that mega-agency CAA reportedly had talks with major studios and streamers over the course of the past few weeks, alerting the key players to be ready to bid on a series of projects that Bey has been developing over the past few years. Such projects reportedly include “elements of her top-grossing 2023 live shows, elements of the long-gestating visual album Renaissance and a documentary-style account of making the record and building out the tour.”

The rumored AMC release follows news of Taylor Swift releasing a concert film based on her Eras Tour this coming October.

At the time of writing neither Beyoncé nor representatives from AMC have directly commented.

However, earlier this week, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, shared a post on Instagram congratulating her daughter, along with Swift, for the role their tours have played in stimulating the national economy.

How Much Did Beyoncé Make On The ‘Renaissance Tour?’

Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour is wrapping up this weekend with one final show in Kansas City (at least, for now). So, now is good time to see just how successful the tour actually was. Both Billboard and the New York Times recently posted breakdowns of the tour’s earnings, which are recapped below.

How Much Did Beyoncé Make On The ‘Renaissance Tour?’

So, according to Billboard, in her 11 July shows alone, Beyoncé grossed $127.6 million — the largest one-month sum for any artist since the Boxscore archives began in the mid-1980s. She followed up in August with $179.3 million over 14 shows. She had the leading tour in sales three months in a row, with only Bad Bunny and Elton John leading more consecutive months (she’s in a tie with Ed Sheeran, the Rolling Stones, and Trans-Siberian Orchestra).

Meanwhile, the Times’ Jenna Wortham notes that the Renaissance Tour has been an economy unto itself, generating as much for the US as the 2008 Olympics did for Beijing — nearly $4.5 billion (a lot of that had to be just in silver clothing alone).

With nine shows in September and one in October, she’s already got the highest-grossing tour by a woman in the Boxscore archives with $461.3 million (passing Madonna’s 2008-9 Sweet & Sticky Tour). Although the remaining shows have yet to be tallied, Billboard projects they’ll bring the overall total to well over half-a-billion bucks at $560 million. Beyoncé would officially be the only woman, only Black artist, and only American solo act among the top ten highest grossing tours ever. A queen, indeed.

Is Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance Tour’ Going To South America Soon?

Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour has been a spectacle from day one — from the over-the-top looks that have since become internet legend to Megan Thee Stallion practically bursting with excitement to perform their hit song “Savage” at their Houston hometown show. With just one dates remaining after Wednesday night’s concert in New Orleans (Sunday at Kansas City will be the final stop), it looks like the Renaissance World Tour is all wrapped up… or is it?

It wouldn’t be a WORLD tour if it just did Europe and North America, now would it? Eagle-eyed Beyhive fans spotted a social media post that suggests that the next region due for a Beyoncé takeover is South America.

Is Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance Tour’ Going To South America Soon?

According to a screenshot from Beyoncé fan account Ticketmaster’s Chile Instagram profile posted a cryptic image of a MacOS document folder titled “Eventos Ticketmaster 2024_Final” with a very purposefully chosen music tag: Beyoncé’s “America Has A Problem” remix with Kendrick Lamar. The song has since been removed but the post remains. Its caption reads, “Let’s start planning for 2024 🔥 If you knew the names this folder has 👀! What would you give to open this file 🔐?”

It’s hard to tell if the fan account’s screenshot is 100 percent legit, but let’s say that it is; it wouldn’t be surprising for Beyoncé to have a couple of stops planned in places like Brazil, where her fanbase is as fervent as anywhere else. Meanwhile, we’re sure the Beyhive would love to get a look inside that folder for confirmation their fave is headed to South America. For now, we’ll just have to speculate while waiting for an official announcement — but I’d be willing to bet one is coming sooner rather than later.

Beyonce “Mute Challenge” Fail Gets Houston Concertgoer Smacked In Hilarious Video

Since Beyonce first flew to Europe to begin her RENAISSANCE Tour back in the spring, her loyal fanbase has been impressing the “Halo” hitmaker. Before she even asked patrons to wear their best silver attire to shows throughout the month of September, many stepped out in over-the-top ensembles, many of which Queen B applauded from her post up on the stadium stage.

This week, the Southern starlet put on a rousing performance in her hometown of Houston, where plenty of celebrities stepped out. Lizzo and Monaleo met for the first time while awaiting Bey, and Moneybagg Yo also brought his lady Ari Fletcher out for a night on the town. Aside from those notable names, tens of thousands of locals also crowded into the concert. As TMZ reports, some of them weren’t afraid to throw hands when it came time for the famous “mute challenge.”

Beyonce’s Hometown Show Involved Some Violence

When the Destiny’s Child alum gets to the part in “ENERGY” ordering everyone to be silent, the audience remains as quiet as possible. Some cities have been far better at this than others, but there were high hopes for Houston to be one of the best. In fact, one person in the crowd was so intent on pleasing Bey that the smacked another person around them for snacking on popcorn during the big moment. “Shut the f**k up,” she added while striking the culprit, who laughed the altercation off. It’s unclear if the two know each other. Regardless, it doesn’t seem as though the night was totally ruined for either of them.

Beyonce has been the centre of attention for months on end thanks to her RENAISSANCE World Tour, reminding us once again why she’s known as one of the greatest entertainers of her generation. While fanfare continues to surround the mother of three amid her final few performances, Plies has made it clear that to him, Britney Spears’ living room dancing videos are just as captivating as what Queen B has been serving up over the past few months. Read what the rapper had to say about his dream girl at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news.

H-Town Hotties Beyoncé & Megan Thee Stallion Performed ‘Savage (Remix)’ During The Singer’s ‘Renaissance Tour’ Hometown Stop

The Renaissance World Tour has been a revolving door of guest appearances. During Beyoncé’s birthday concert in Inglewood, California, she dialed things up a notch by inviting music legend Diana Ross and rapper Kendrick Lamar to share the stage with her. That wasn’t the end of her surprise performances. On Saturday, September 23, as the tour planted its roots in her hometown of Houston, Texas, Beyoncé brought another native for a highly anticipated set.

At the NRG Stadium, Beyoncé & Megan Thee Stallion treated the sold-out crowd to a spicy performance of their top-charting and Grammy Award-winning song, “Savage (Remix).” As Megan made her way to the front of the stage, she took the time to remind the audience of her H-town roots. Then she embraced the cocky energy of the track, bragging, “I’m that b*tch. Still that b*tch.”

“Yes, Megan,” yelled Beyoncé.

The celebrities amongst the crowd included Lizzo, Normani, Teyana Taylor, Coco Jones, and Victoria Monét.

There’s not much Beyoncé can do to outdo night one in Houston. But knowing Mrs. Knowles-Carter, she’ll find a way to make the final performance slated for Sunday, September 24, even grander.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Beyonce Brings Out Megan Thee Stallion For Renaissance Tour Hometown Show In Houston

by

Beyoncé had a special guest for fans at her hometown show in Houston this weekend. Fellow Houston songstress Megan The Stallion joined Beyoncé on stage during the September 23 show at NRG Stadium. The two musical powerhouses performed together, with Megan rocking a camo bodysuit. Megan flexed her twerking prowess before giving her co-star a hearty “I love you Beyoncé!” during an ad-lib exchange. The crowd at NRG Stadium went absolutely wild for the pair, who were bathed in an intense red light during most of their performance. “I was there. And the stadium was shaking. The energy was insane. Houston you WIN ❤🙌,” one fan wrote on social media.

However, Megan’s appearance won’t come as a surprise to many eagle-eyed fans. Last weekend, it was reported that Megan had pulled out of the Global Citizen Fest in New York, which also took place on September 23. Internet sleuths put the pieces together and reasoned that Megan had likely received an offer to guest with Beyoncé in their shared hometown. This was confirmed earlier this week when sources told various outlets that Megan had chosen to perform with Beyoncé instead. It’s unknown if Megan will be joining Beyoncé for the second show in Houston.

However, a Houston talent link-up wasn’t the only thing that Beyoncé did while in Texas. Beyoncé and her mother were seen posting up in front of Beyoncé’s childhood home, appearing to be engaged in a little photoshoot. Elsewhere, Beyoncé also teased new merch from the tour, including a t-shirt that reads “You’re the visual, baby”.

Sadly, the Renaissance Tour is coming to an end. As of September 24, there are just three shows left on the tour that began back in May. Beyoncé will play her hometown once more on September 24 before heading to New Orleans on September 27. The final concert of the tour is a scheduled stop in Kansas City, which was delayed from earlier in September. What’s been your favorite moment of the Renaissance Tour? Let us know in the comments.

Beyonce Labels Kendrick Lamar A “Legend,” Someone She “Deeply Appreciates”

by

All through her RENAISSANCE World Tour, Beyonce has been captivating us with near-constant Instagram posts. They’ve been particularly noteworthy as of late, thanks to the “Halo” singer’s recent birthday, as well as the celebrity guests she invited to perform with her during her three-night stint in Los Angeles. DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, and Coi Leray were among them, but perhaps the fan favourite of everyone who helped out Queen B would have to be Kendrick Lamar.

Earlier in the summer, he and the mother of three teamed up for the “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM (Remix).” For her final night in the City of Angels, Bey brought K-Dot out alongside her in her iconic bee costume. The Pulitzer Prize winner delivered his thought-provoking bars perfectly, but unfortunately, technical difficulties made his audio hard to hear for a significant portion of their performance. Regardless, Beyonce still gave Lamar his flowers in an IG post shared on Monday (September 11) evening.

Beyonce is a Big Kendrick Lamar Fan

“Thank you again to the legend Kendrick Lamar for blessing the Renaissance World Tour,” the Houston native captioned her upload. “I deeply appreciate you. What an incredible experience. Respect, 🐝,” Beyonce’s brief but heartfelt message concluded. As followers are already pointing out in the comments, it’s rare for the record-breaking hitmaker to add any sort of text along with her photo dumps, proving just how much the opportunity to join forces with the Kung Fu Kenny on stage again meant to her, especially on her birthday.

Beyonce’s tribute to Kendrick Lamar is just as heartfelt as the hundreds of others she’s given to artists over the years. Unfortunately, another attempt to honour the Compton native, this one in Poland, went terribly wrong after a video of a karaoke performer doing blackface went viral earlier this week. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Sarah Francis Jones Went Into Labor At Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Tour And Gave Birth To The Beyhive’s Youngest Member

When Beyoncé tells the world to stop, typically it does. However, that wasn’t the case for Hairspray actress Sarah Francis Jones. In fact, the excitement from the Grammy Award record holder’s final Renaissance World Tour stop in Inglewood led the actress to give birth to the Beyhive’s youngest member.

While attending the recording artist’s September 4 birthday performance at SoFi Stadium, Jones recorded herself having a grand ol’ time dancing and singing along but by the end of the night, the audience around her was a medical team as she was set to deliver her baby girl. During an interview with KTLA, the star revealed that initially, she thought the sharp aches she was experiencing when at the concert were false labor pains (medically referred to as Braxton Hicks).

“I said, ‘Something’s happening.’ Usually, I like to dance at the concert, and I was like, ‘OK, I need to sit down for a second,” said Jones.

But as the discomfort increased, Jones and her partner, Marcel Spears, knew it was time. “The biggest contractions happened during ‘Virgo’s Groove.’ As the concert went on, we were like, ‘I don’t know about this.’ By the time we got to the car into the parking lot, it was full-on intense,” Spears added.

Jones vlogged the experience on her official Instagram page. In the video, as she participated in the ‘Eerbody On Mute’ challenge, you notice a shift in her bubbly personality.

Although Jones and Spears’ baby girl is indeed a Virgo, just like Beyoncé, their daughter missed the cut-off date to share the same birthday with the star as she was officially born on September 5. Friends and family of Jones, as well as fellow Beyhive members, took to the entertainer’s comment section to offer their well wishes.

Keke Palmer & Darius Jackson Attend Beyonce’s “Renaissance World Tour”

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson attended Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour stop at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on September 4th together. Jackson recorded Palmer joining in on Beyoncé’s “everybody on mute” challenge at the show in a video on his Instagram Story. The night out comes months after their rumored breakup.

In the clip, the two place their fingers over one another’s lips until Beyonce sings “Look around, it’s me and my crew, big energy,” before they break out into excitement. The two also posted themselves dancing to “Break My Soul.”

Before the night out, the relationship status of Jackson and Palmer had been up in the air throughout the summer. Back in July, Jackson took to social media to complain about the actress’ behavior at an Usher concert in Las Vegas. “We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is,” he said at the time. “This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.” Palmer began selling “I’M A MOTHA” merch afterward. Eventually, they began to make public appearances together again, with Jackson taking Palmer out for her 30th birthday in August.

Jackson and Palmer are far from the only celebrities who were in attendance at this week’s Beyonce concert. The Kardashian family also watched the legendary singer perform as did Jeff Bezos, Chris Rock, Hailey Bieber, and more. Beyonce also brought out Diana Ross and Kendrick Lamar to perform. Beyonce will wrap up the tour in Kansas City, next month.
