00:21It's almost certain that the film will break the record for top-grossing concert film at the domestic box office.
00:26To date, 2011's Justin Bieber Never Say Never holds that record with $73 million not adjusted for inflation.

00:46A box office boost is welcome news for theater owners amid the ongoing writers and actor strikes,
00:56which have prompted high-profile movies like Craven the Hunter and Dune Part 2 to delay their releases.
