Elvis Is Shedding To Twenty One Pilots In Live performance Film Field Workplace Battle, Regardless of Enormous Benefit

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Live performance is on its approach to Heartbreak Lodge.

EPiC, which is an element documentary and half live performance film, consists of unseen footage that director Baz Luhrmann discovered when researching his 2022 biopic Elvis, which starred Austin Butler and Tom Hanks. The film, which has a Licensed Contemporary 96% rating from critics and a Verified Sizzling 99% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, debuted in IMAX theaters on February 20 earlier than a large enlargement on February 27.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Live performance is projected to earn a 3-day whole of $3.4 million from 1,903 theaters on the home field workplace by the top of Sunday. This sees it rising a scant 6% from the $3.2 million it earned from 325 theaters throughout its debut.

That whole will almost certainly not be sufficient for the Baz Luhrmann film to outpace a rival live performance documentary, the brand new launch Twenty One Pilots: Extra Than We Ever Imagined – Dwell in Mexico Metropolis. The film follows one night time of the “Confused Out” and “Heathens” hitmakers’ Clancy World Tour, which ran from August 2024 by means of October 2025.

Twenty One Pilots is projected to earn a 3-day whole of $3.6 million in 833 theaters, taking No. 4 on the home chart over EPiC at No. 5. Each films have fallen behind the narrative options Wuthering Heights (No. 3), GOAT (No. 2), and Scream 7 (No.1).

Twenty One Pilots‘ efficiency is one thing of an upset, contemplating the truth that it’s enjoying in 1,070 fewer theaters than EPiC. Moreover, EPiC follows a musician whose reputation is far longer-lasting and wider-reaching than the band, which fashioned in 2009, 32 years after Elvis Presley’s loss of life.

EPiC‘s extensive enlargement has seen its per-screen common dwindle from $9,893 to $1,787. In the meantime, Twenty One Pilots has debuted with a robust per-screen common of $4,322.

Whereas it would not have been in a position to compete with the Elvis Presley film if it had maintained its debut common, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Live performance‘s very good viewers reception doesn’t appear to have translated to ticket purchases throughout its sophomore weekend, probably indicating that it has already reached nearly all of its core demographic.
