Box Office Showdown: 'Killers of the Flower Moon' vs. 'Eras Tour' - Who is dominating the field?
box office, moviegoers are in for a duel of pop culture titans: iconic director Martin Scorsese and global sensation Taylor Swift. Both Scorsese and Swift are offering cinematic experiences this weekend with "Killers of the Flower Moon" and «Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,» respectively.
Previews and Box Office Numbers
In the battle of Thursday previews, Scorsese's «Killers of the Flower Moon» opened with $2.6 million, while Swift's «Eras Tour» dominated the field with $5.9 million in earnings on Thursday, October 19. These numbers set the stage for a thrilling weekend at the box office.

There's a possibility, however, that Swift's concert movie may see a steeper decline than expected in its sophomore weekend, potentially earning around $25 million. This could open a narrow window for «Flower Moon» to secure the top spot at the box office.
