Trafalgar Releasing and HYBE are thrilled to announce the record-setting success of the cinematic cut of SUGA│Agust D TOUR ‘D-DAY’ THE MOVIE.

Inclusive of the screenings on April 10 through April 14, the electrifying concert film has grossed a total of $10.16 million worldwide from limited showtimes. This gross gives Agust D, aka SUGA of 21st century pop icons BTS, the highest grossing U.S. and worldwide concert film of 2024 as well as the highest grossing cinema event ever from a K-pop solo artist.

The release follows an exceptionally strong 2023 for concert films at the box office, due in large part to the successes of TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR ($267.1 million gross) and RENAISSANCE: A FILM BY BEYONCÉ ($44.4 million gross). Both worldwide releases were led by AMC Theatres Distribution, with Trafalgar Releasing distributing across Europe, Asia, and South America

Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing said, “We’re really excited with the phenomenal response to SUGA│Agust D TOUR ‘D-DAY’ THE MOVIE. It’s a true testament to SUGA’s artistry and not only speaks volumes about his power to motivate fans, but also signifies the strong appetite for event cinema experiences worldwide.”

Due to phenomenal demand, in the U.S., the release expanded by 100 screens a week into pre-sales as well as added additional screening dates through April 21. Expansions also occurred in Mexico, and Brazil, among other Latin American markets. Tickets are on sale for those screenings now.
