USHER, the globally acclaimed singer, songwriter, dancer, and entrepreneur, is set to bring an intimate concert experience to theaters this fall. AMC Theatres, Trafalgar Releasing, and Sony Music Vision have announced that USHER: RENDEZVOUS IN PARIS will premiere in cinemas worldwide for a limited run starting Sept. 12.
The concert film, captured during Paris Fashion Week at La Seine Musicale, combines the essence of Usher’s Vegas residencies with a French touch. It features hits like “Yeah!”, “My Boo” and “Love In This Club” from his 30-year career, with unique costumes and advanced lighting and effects. The film also offers a behind-the-scenes look at Usher’s life offstage, creating a global cinematic event.
“Paris was a special experience for me as an entertainer and for my fans,” said USHER. “I hope those who weren’t able to make it in person get to experience how special it was. As for those of you who were, I hope you experience the show and see what it takes to get there through a different lens.”
“For 30 years USHER has captivated and entertained audiences through his music and concerts. Just a few months ago, he drew rave reviews for his stunning performance in front of 129 million people during the Super Bowl Half Time Show. Bringing his unparalleled concert experience to movie theatres for his fans around the world is a perfect fit for AMC Theatres Distribution,” said Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO, AMC Theatres.
Marc Allenby, CEO, Trafalgar Releasing, adds “We are excited to continue our partnership with Sony Music Vision and AMC Theatres Distribution to bring the energy of USHER to movie theater audiences around the world. He is the perfect artist to support our shared vision of creating global experiences around concert films for artists that advance the evolution of the cinema into venues for all forms of entertainment.”

Ticketing and screening details will be available at UsherinParis.com on Aug. 6 at 9:00 a.m. ET / 6:00 a.m. PT. Screenings will run from Sept. 12 to 15, varying by location.
