\n\tThat James Cameron<\/a> directed Billie Eilish<\/a> concert film Hit Me Hard and Soft that the 9x Grammy winner announced back in July \u2014 well, it\u2019s going to be released by Paramount<\/a> and it\u2019s set for a March 20, 2026 release date. <\/p>\n

\n\tInterestingly enough, Deadline told you Friday that the Matt Stone-Trey Parker-Kendrick Lamar movie, which was originally set for March 20, 2026 was being pushed to a TBD date so those guys could finish their film. Paramount quickly backfilled the vacancy. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2x Oscar winning Eilish just announced the news on her social media handle. In addition, she also unveiled the news to the crowd at the final stop of her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour in San Francisco, CA tonight. Cameron also took to his social to announce the movie\u2019s release. <\/p>\n

\n\tEilish told the crowd at her Manchester, UK concert stop for the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour back in July that the 3x Oscar winning Cameron had cameras in the arena, and that a new 3D concert film was underway. <\/p>\n

\n\tEilish has had concert films hit the big screen before, i.e. her Live at the O2 back in 2023, however, that was a limited release via Trafalgar Releasing grossing only $1.29M at the domestic box office. Having the full major studio push from Paramount is a different story. The Melrose lot was reportedly one of several studios kicking the tires at Taylor Swift: Eras Tour before the Swift family decided to distribute directly with AMC Theatres; that movie making $180.7M domestic, $261.6M worldwide (NY based distributor Variance booked North American cinemas on behalf of AMC). <\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s been a while since Paramount released a concert film in theaters. One of the more notable ones in the millennium was the 2011 Justin Bieber: Never Say Never 3D concert movie which racked up $73M at the domestic box office (after a $29.5M opening) and close to $100M worldwide. <\/p>\n

\n\tParamount announced earlier this month that they\u2019re upping their feature count to at least 15 films next year. <\/p>\n

\n\tCameron has Avatar: Fire and Ash coming out on Dec. 19. Talk about an opportune time to trailer his Eilish concert movie before millions. <\/p>\n

\n\tHit Me Hard and Soft is Eilish\u2019s third studio album. At the\u00a067th Annual Grammy Awards earlier this year, the album and its songs received a total of seven nominations, including\u00a0Album of the Year,\u00a0Best Pop Vocal Album,\u00a0Song of the Year\u00a0and\u00a0Record of the Year.\u00a0At the 68th Grammy Awards on Feb. 1, 2026, the single \u201cWildflower\u201d from the album was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That James Cameron directed Billie Eilish concert film Hit Me Hard and Soft that the 9x Grammy winner…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305123,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,9162,134,9164,136,14627],"class_list":{"0":"post-305122","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-billie-eilish","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-james-cameron","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-paramount"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
