December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce’s new concert film, Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce, is currently on pace to top the weekly box office charts with between a $22 and $24 million opening in its domestic debut. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the figure marks the biggest opening for early December in two decades. Before being adjusted for inflation, the largest opening for the first weekend of December remains Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai with $24.3 million.

After releasing in the United States on Friday, the film is beginning to roll out worldwide. It’s projected to bring in $40 million globally. Renaissance first premiered in Los Angeles, earlier this week, with a star-studded event that featured Taylor Swift, Michelle Williams, Blake Lively, will.i.am, and many more celebrities in attendance.

Beyonce initially announced that fans can expect the film to arrive after she wrapped up the tour back in October. A summary of the movie says it “accentuates the journey of Renaissance World Tour, from its inception to the opening in Stockholm, Sweden, to the finale in Kansas City, Missouri. It is about Beyoncé’s intention, hard work, involvement in every aspect of the production, her creative mind and purpose to create her legacy, and master her craft. Received with extraordinary acclaim, Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour created a sanctuary for freedom, and shared joy, for more than 2.7 million fans.”

Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Film Is Here

Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce isn’t the only major concert film of the year. Taylor Swift released Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour back in October, hauling in $250 million in the time since. That figure makes for the most successful concert film of all time. Be on the lookout for further updates on Beyonce on HotNewHipHop and check out Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce in theaters now.

Taylor Swift Shouts Out Beyonce For Invitation To “RENAISSANCE” Premiere

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When it comes to superstar musicians across the world, you can’t really get much bigger than Taylor Swift and Beyonce. Both are absolute titans in their fields, and while some have tried to pit them against each other (we’re looking at you, Mr. “I’ma Let You Finish, But”), they continue to praise one another amid their own gargantuan paths. For example, Queen Bey recently invited the Midnights magnate to the London premiere of her RENAISSANCE concert film. Via Twitter, Swift thanked Miss Carter for the experience, and urged all of her fans to go support this movie in theaters.

“Got invited to London by The Queen…” Taylor Swift wrote on the social media platform on Friday (December 1). “RENAISSANCE: A Film by Beyoncé is in theaters now!!” Moreover, this is very notable because Beyonce went to the premiere of her Eras concert film, so it’s only right that the Pennsylvania native would return the favor. In fact, she shared some snaps of the event, too, and the two looked absolutely radiant in them. Maybe in the coming days, we’ll even get some video of their interactions or what other fun times went down at the silver carpet rollout.

Taylor Swift & Beyonce At The RENAISSANCE Film’s London Premiere

Of course, Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE tour motion picture will likely be a wild hit commercially, much like Taylor Swift’s Eras. It’s actually quite bizarre to get two huge music movies in a similar realm come out so close to one another. We guess that the best part about that, other than giving a nice boost for theaters, is that they didn’t come out close enough to each other to trample on the other’s success. Fans can go pretty far, but up until this point, it’s been nice to see the pop star duo show so much respect to one another.

Meanwhile, it’s clear that the Houston creative wanted to really capitalize on all the hype around the RENAISSANCE film. Today, she released a new track “My House,” adding to a lot of praise, engagement, and deservedly inescapable hype around her right now– and always, for that matter. We’ll see if her country counterpart chooses to feed fans in a similar way soon after an already stellar 2023.

The Beyhive is losing it over Beyoncé‘s new concert film and documentary Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé. Many fans have already gone out to early screenings of the film, which offers a look at her creative process in addition to her incredible performances throughout the Renaissance World Tour. And as she is known to do, Beyoncé included another surprise for the fans at the end of the movie.

During the end credits, fans can hear “My House,” a new song from Queen Bey, which features her going into full rap mode. Driven by triumphant horns, “My House” shows a new side of Beyoncé, as she turns up the heat by way of scorching bars.

“Me and my thug bae gon’ slide tonight / Paparazzi ain’t got clips to hide tonight / Cash out this plane jet, call Lorraine / And take the Tiffany, I want forty-four karats on my fangs / I want pink diamonds on my belly chains and my nipple rings,” Bey raps on the song’s opening verse.

At the time of writing, it is unknown if “My House” will appear on an upcoming Beyoncé album, if it is a standalone single, or a leftover track from the Renaissance sessions.

Beyoncé Drops Fiery New Track “My House”

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fresh off the cinematic triumph of her latest film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, the Queen Bey herself is back with a surprise for her fans. A brand new track titled “My House.” This release marks Beyoncé’s first release in music since the drop of her groundbreaking album, Renaissance, last year. And she’s not just testing the waters; she’s diving in headfirst, showcasing her bars. The melody is driven by horns and a relentless beat. “My House” throws listeners into uncharted territory as Beyoncé boldly embraces rap with scorching bars that set the track ablaze. While fans have witnessed her versatility across genres, this unexpected dive into full-on rap mode is a testament to her willingness to push boundaries and defy expectations.

The track’s release comes as no coincidence, seamlessly tied to the debut of Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé in theaters. Serving as the cinematic backdrop, “My House” adds an extra layer of intensity and anticipation to the film. Beyoncé’s journey into rap isn’t just a sonic experiment; it’s a declaration of artistic evolution. The songstress, known for her powerful vocals and commanding presence, showcases a different dimension of her musicality. “My House” is more than just a track; it’s a statement that Beyoncé continues to reinvent herself, refusing to be confined by the expectations set by her previous works.

In a year that has seen Beyoncé break records as the artist with the most Grammy wins of all time, “My House” reinforces her status as an unstoppable force. The surprise release follows the album’s initial single, “Break My Soul,” and adds another layer to the enigma of Renaissance.

As fans eagerly dive into “My House,” they are met with a Beyoncé who is not only unafraid to embrace rap. But does so with a level of finesse that solidifies her standing as a true icon. With no accompanying music videos for any of the album tracks prior to its release, Beyoncé continues to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Proving that her ability to captivate extends far beyond the confines of conventional music releases. “My House” is not just a song; it’s an experience, a sonic adventure that showcases Beyoncé’s ever-expanding artistry.

Quotable Lyrics:

Me and my thug bae gon’ slide tonight (Slide tonight)
Call the paparazzi, ain’t got clips to hide tonight (Boom, pow)
Cash out this plane jet, call Lorraine (Swipe)
Then take me to Tiffany, I want forty-four karats on my fangs (Bling, ah)
I want pink diamonds on my belly chain and my nipple rings (Grrah)
I’m grabbin’ grain, sippin’ sideways on this

Beyonce And Jay-Z Attend Renaissance Film Premiere Together

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last year, Beyonce released her new album Renaissance. It spawned hit songs like “BREAK MY SOUL” and “CUFF IT” while also raking in praise from critics for its eclectic blend of influences. Earlier this year she took off on her massive Renaissance tour across North America and Europe. The tour made nightly news for the high-profile guests in attendance and various collaborators she had join her on stage.

Earlier this year after the tour wrapped up, she announced that a concert film recapping the shows would be released in December. It followed in the footsteps of Taylor Swift, who also turned the North American portion of her Eras Tour into a concert film that was released earlier this month. Now with the release of the Renaissance film coming later this week, the movie is being premiered at numerous locations around the world. Earlier this week the film had its North American premiere in Hollywood and the celebrities showed out. Lizzo, Halle Bailey, and Lori Harvey were all in attendance and there was even a Destiny’s Child reunion. Now the film is having its London premiere which is once again stacked with guests.

One person who showed up to the film’s new premiere could certainly be considered a guest of honor. Jay-Z and Beyonce hit up the premiere together and pictures of the pair are circulating online. Much like earlier in the week, fans are once again asking some questions about Bey’s new blonde look. Some fans are even going as far as to say that she looks unrecognizable or theorizing that she may have a body double of some kind.

The Renaissance tour film is expected to have a massive opening weekend at the box office. Similarly, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour film earlier this year went out to massive numbers of its own. The film has already cleared $250 million across its first two weekends in theaters. What do you think of the new pictures of Beyonce and Jay-Z and the Renaissance tour film premiere? Let us know in the comments below.

Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have been pitted against each other this year, since their respective tours, The Eras Tour and Renaissance, have been the biggest concert events of 2023. It doesn’t feel like Swift and Beyoncé themselves see each other as adversaries, though. In October, Beyoncé made a surprise appearance at Swift’s premiere for her Eras Tour concert movie.

Now, the shoe is on the other foot: Beyoncé’s own film chronicling her own massive tour (dubbed Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé) is premiering in London today (November 30), and it has been rumored that Swift was planning to show up. TMZ reported earlier today that Swift hopped on a private jet bound for London, and it appears that’s the truth: The UK premiere is getting underway, as photos and videos of Swift on the red carpet are starting to surface on social media.

Swift posed for photos and videos with fans in attendance while rocking an outfit featuring a sparkling silver Balmain gown, jewelry via Anita Ko, and shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti.

Meanwhile, Swift recently released the fan-favorite song “You’re Losing Me” on streaming platforms, and Beyoncé’s only a few days removed from the Beverly Hills premiere of the Renaissance movie.

Tina Knowles Defends Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Premiere Appearance

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tina Knowles has come to Beyonce’s defense after her daughter attended the Renaissance concert film premiere in a full silver outfit, including platinum hair. The decision sparked backlash on social media from users who claimed she was trying “to be white.” Knowles labeled it a “stupid narrative with hate and jealousy.”

She began on Instagram: “Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white. She does a film, called the renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?”

She also called out TMZ for reaching out to Beyonce’s hair stylist for a comment on the story. “I am sick and tired of people attacking her,” Knowles continued. “Every time she does something that she works her ass off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience. Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards, you perpetuate those things. Instead of celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her. I am sick of you losers. I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up ! This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times.” Check out the full post below.

How Much Is Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Movie Cup?

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

December 1, Beyoncé’s Renaissance film hits theaters, along with some special goodies for fans who make it a point to see it opening weekend. AMC Theatres is offering an exclusive Renaissance-themed popcorn bucket and drink cup (which will very likely sell out before the weekend is over).

According to the AMC website, the popcorn bucket will be $22.99, while the cup will be $12.99. (MacGuffins Bar is also selling a Renaissance-themed Paloma with tequila AND gin if you would like to get absolutely sloshed during the movie.)

The film premiered in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 25, in an event that saw the reunion of all five members of Destiny’s Child, as well as a whole galaxy of R&B stars inspired by Beyoncé. Meanwhile, the movie itself is said to be both a concert film and a behind-the-scenes documentary of both the tour and the making of the album that prompted it.

A moment that is already being discussed finds Beyoncé admitting that her daughter Blue Ivy’s appearances on the tour weren’t initially planned as such (the first was supposed to be a one-off) and praising the 11-year-old’s tenacity as she worked hard to improve her own performance after some harsh comments online.

How Much Is Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Movie Popcorn Bucket?

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This weekend, longsuffering Beyoncé fans will finally get to see the concert movie Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé after months of hype and speculation. The movie will be an AMC Theatres exclusive, and as such, come with multiple perks like a themed drink at the chain’s MacGuffins Bar and exclusive collectibles (tequila AND gin though? YEESH). A Renaissance popcorn bucket and collectible cup will both be available for purchase (provided you go on day one because you just know the Hive is all over those) beginning on November 30.

The popcorn bucket will be $22.99 while the cup will cost $12.99. If that seems a little steep, just remember: Rocket Raccoon’s popcorn bucket ran Guardians Of The Galaxy fans 30 bucks. Both Renaissance collectibles feature the film’s title in shimmering silver print along with a silver silhouette of Beyoncé herself draped along the logo. Fans going on opening weekend will also get a chance at a free mini poster of Beyoncé in a 1950s sci-fi space explorer outfit.

At the film’s premiere on Saturday, stars came out in droves to support Beyoncé, including all four previous members of Destiny’s Child. Other big-name BeyHivers (and accent mark lovers) included the singer’s proteges Chlöe and Halle Bailey, Coco Jones, Janelle Monáe, Normani, Victoria Monét, and more.
