Summary
Swift's Eras Tour film grossed more than $260m globally, while Eilish is preparing a James Cameron-backed 3D movie filmed in Manchester.
BTS also drew about 18.4 million Netflix viewers for a comeback show and sells livestream tickets from roughly $47, highlighting new income streams beyond in-person concerts.
