BTS’ Permission to Dance on Stage has officially opened its concert with an accumulated global box office figure of $32 million.
Despite being one of the hardest events to get tickets for, fans made sure to watch even the Seoul-set show in their local cinemas.
According to Variety, the rare one-night event hosted by HYBE hit the global box office, with its screenings, and amassed over $32.6 million from 3,711 cinemas in a total of 75 worldwide theatrical markets.
This one-night-only concert managed to rake in more money in a single day than any pandemic-era Hollywood movie has managed to accumulate.
In America alone, the cinema screenings occurred in 803 theatres and earned roughly $6.84 million on Saturday, and that translates to roughly $8,500 per venue.
It has also topped the local box office, and is in third place, behind Robert Pattinson’s The Batman, on opening weekend.
The cost for a single ticket in North America ranged from $9 to $35 in the US and Canada.
