After Taylor Swift And Beyoncé, Now Usher Goes To AMC: Will Shareholders Say 'Yeah' Or Be 'Caught Up' In Stock Drop?
Musician Usher is the latest musician to be featured in a movie theater event from AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC), following concert films from Taylor Swift and Beyonce Knowles and a listening event featuring Billie Eilish.
AMC院線正在推出以音樂人爲特色板塊的影視股活動，Usher是其中一個，此前在這個平台推出的還有Taylor Swift、Beyonce Knowles和Billie Eilish.
What Happened: The concert film from Usher titled "Usher: Rendezvous In Paris," comes to theaters less than a year after the musician was the featured halftime performer at Super Bowl LVIII.
新推出的Usher音樂電影《Usher: Rendezvous in Paris》是在之前的超級碗LVIII間歇表演受到重視後不到一年就發佈的，記錄了2023年他在巴黎舉行的8場音樂會。該電影將於9月12日上映，並計劃在9月15日之前上映。影院放映的門票將於8月6日起開始銷售。
The new movie was filmed during eight concerts in Paris in 2023 and will hit theaters starting Sept. 12 with a current plan to be in theaters through Sept. 15. Tickets for the theatrical experience go on sale beginning Aug. 6.
AMC、Trafalgar Releasing和Sony Music Vision公司（Sony Group Corp（紐交所：SONY）的子公司）合作推出了這部新音樂電影。該電影將在全球超過2,000個電影院中播放，包括在美國的約1,000個電影院以及AMC和ODEON旗下的其他全球地點。
AMC partnered with Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision, a unit of Sony Group Corp (NYSE:SONY) on the new concert film.
該公司表示，將每年與頂級音樂家合作推出幾場類似電影的活動，並在討論該分段的時候與多位頂級音樂家接觸。
The film is currently set to screen in over 2,000 movie theaters around the world, including around 1,000 theaters in the U.S. The film will play at AMC and ODEON locations owned by AMC and other locations around the world.
"巴黎是我作爲一名錶演者以及我粉絲的特殊體驗，我希望那些無法親身體驗的人能體驗到它的特別之處"，Usher表示。這部電影能夠爲AMC的音樂會電影板塊帶來更多的營業收入。反映在股票上，AMC的股票價格爲5.30美元/股，本年度已下跌13%，去年下跌超過80%。
"Paris was a special experience for me as an entertainer and for my fans," Usher said. "I hope those who weren't able to make it in person get to experience how special it was."
AMC CEO亞當·艾倫說:"30年來，Usher通過他的音樂和音樂會吸引着和娛樂着觀衆。就在幾個月前，他在超級碗半場秀上的表現引起了熱烈反響，吸引了1.29億人次的觀看。把他無與倫比的音樂會體驗帶到全球的電影院，是AMC影院發行的完美適配。"

"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 Halftime Show," AMC CEO Adam Aron said. "Bringing his unparalleled concert experience to movie theaters for his fans around the world is a perfect fit for AMC Theatres Distribution."
該公司還發布了Beyonce的音樂電影，並增加了即將發佈的Eilish專輯的特別聽取會。
The news from AMC comes after the company said it had a strong performance from "Deadpool & Wolverine" in theaters. Aron previously said that the movie slate improves in the second half of 2024 and in future years.
