LOS ANGELES, CA – JANUARY 12: Suga, a member of the South Korean band BTS, attends the Los Angeles … [+]
Concert films are more popular than they have been in a long time, thanks in part to superstars like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, who scored box office wins in 2023 with filmed performances. BTS singer Suga is the latest musical favorite who has found success in cinemas across the U.S. with his first theatrically-released film.
SUGA | Agust D TOUR ‘D-DAY’ THE MOVIE finished the weekend as one of the top-grossing films in America. The title lands at No. 10 on the list of the highest-grossing releases in theaters across the U.S. from April 12 through 14.
According to Box Office Mojo, Suga’s movie pulled in just under $1 million at the U.S. box office. The film racked up a total of $990,000 in ticket sales, but that’s not the full story of the title’s performance.
SUGA | Agust D TOUR ‘D-DAY’ THE MOVIE is one of four titles that debut inside the top 10 as this past weekend finished. Civil War opens at No. 1, with more than $25 million domestically. Just ahead of Suga come both The Long Game at No. 8 ($1.39 million) and the re-release of Shrek 2 at No. 9 ($1.35 million).
The BTS singer’s concert film actually opened on Wednesday (April 10), so it made money before this weekend. In the U.S. alone, Suga’s movie has now earned $2.2 million domestically.
SUGA | Agust D TOUR ‘D-DAY’ THE MOVIE is Suga’s first theatrically released concert film. Suga claims a huge fan base in the country, and even though he’s on a career hiatus as he fulfills his military duties in his home nation of South Korea, clearly interest is still high in everything he does. He has previously found success at the box office in America with some of BTS’ projects.
Suga’s concert film—distributed by Trafalgar Releasing, which is known for its music-related movies—features footage from his recent global tour, known simply as the Suga Agust D Tour. The BTS singer and rapper traveled the world throughout several months in 2023, hitting the stage in the U.S., Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, and, of course, South Korea.
