Taylor Swift’s concert film has taken three times as much at the US box office as the previous music tour film record held by Justin Bieber.

Taylor Swift’s movie of her Eras Tour concert dominated US theatres over the weekend with $US95m to $US97m ($A151m to $A154m) in US and Canadian ticket sales, according to estimates from distributor AMC Theatres.

The movie, called Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, set the record on Sunday for a concert film, easily surpassing the $US29.5m ($A46.9m) collected by Justin Bieber: Never Say Never over its first three days in 2011.

Final weekend results will be released on Monday.

If current estimates hold, Swift’s film will fall short of the most bullish projections from box office analysts, who had forecast a domestic opening of $US100m to $US140m ($159m to $223m).

Still, for theatre operators such as AMC and Cineworld , the movie provided a major boost to what had looked like a lacklustre autumn slate after strikes in Hollywood prompted delays to Dune: Part Two and other releases.

Swift said on Wednesday that she was adding extra showtimes and early screenings on Thursday to meet demand.
