August 2024 · 4 minute read

A filmed version of Usher‘s latest concert tour is moving and grooving to the big screen in the fall.

“Usher: Rendezvous in Paris” will arrive in movie theaters on Sept. 12 for a limited theatrical run. It’s expected to play in approximately 2,000 locations across the globe.

The concert film “incorporates the essence of his landmark cultural phenomenon Vegas residencies into a seductive French touch confession,” according to a press release. Captured during Paris Fashion Week at La Seine Musicale and directed by Anthony Mandler, “Rendezvous in Paris” features Usher performing chart-topping hits like “Yeah,” “My Boo” and “Love In This Club” and gives audiences a glimpse inside his life beyond the stage.

“Paris was a special experience for me as an entertainer and for my fans,” Usher said in a statement. “I hope those who weren’t able to make it in person get to experience how special it was. As for those of you who were, I hope you experience the show and see what it takes to get there through a different lens.”

The concert film will be released in the U.S. and globally by Trafalgar Releasing, in partnership with AMC Theatres Distribution. AMC and Odeon will provide core marketing support for the film in the U.S. and international markets. This marks AMC’s latest foray into distribution following the release of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” and “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.” AMC’s chairman Adam Aron has previously said he expects that AMC will unveil “two to three” concert films a year and recently expanded the company’s distribution team, underscoring its commitment to releasing its own movies.  

“For 30 years, Usher has captivated and entertained audiences through his music and concerts. Just a few months ago, he drew rave reviews for his stunning performance in front of 129 million people during the Super Bowl Half Time Show,” Aron said in a statement. “Bringing his unparalleled concert experience to movie theaters for his fans around the world is a perfect fit for AMC Theatres Distribution.”
