Move over, Barbenheimer. This next big movie duo will make your head spin.

A concert film of Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” is hitting movie theaters on Friday, Oct. 13 – the same day as the next installment of the “Exorcist” horror franchise, making for another potential wild movie double feature. Call it Exorswift.

Earlier this summer, Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Barbie” and Universal’s “Oppenheimer” hit theaters on the same day, leading to a double-feature cultural event and driving massive box office sales.

Could pop star royalty like Swift and two young girls possessed by the devil have the same effect?

“The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon,” Swift posted on Thursday on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.

Inflation-adjusted worldwide gross: $2.25 billion Actual gross: $441.1 million Year released: 1973 Based on the 1971 William Peter Blatty novel of the same name, “The Exorcist” is the second highest grossing film of all time, when adjusted for inflation. The film chronicles the demonic possession of a young girl and her exorcism by two priests, and has been named the scariest movie of all time by Entertainment Weekly. The success of the film spawned a number of sequels, which were released in 19

Swift’s concert film documents the wildly popular tour that raked in millions and was on its way to hit a record-breaking $1 billion in sales earlier this summer.

It will be in all AMC Theatres locations in North America with at least four showtimes per day on Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, according to a release.

The movie theater company noted that more than 3 million fans attended the tour in its first leg of its U.S. run, shattering concert sales records.

“The Exorcist: Believer,” produced by horror film studio Blumhouse, takes place 50 years after the original film. It will be distributed by Universal. The film stars Leslie Odom Jr. of “Hamilton” fame and Ellen Burstyn, who starred in the 1973 demonic possession classic.

Disclosure: Comcast is the parent company of NBCUniversal and CNBC. NBCUniversal is the distributor of “Oppenheimer” and “The Exorcist: Believer.”
