Usher’s ‘Rendezvous In Paris’ Concert Film Coming To AMC Theatres This Fall
Usher fans rejoice! The artist announced the release of his concert film USHER: RENDEZVOUS IN PARIS, which turns his 2023 eight-show experience in Paris into a concert film.
According to a news release, the concert film, which was captured during Paris Fashion Week at La Seine Musicale, “incorporates the essence of his landmark cultural phenomenon Vegas residencies into a seductive French touch confession.”
“Paris was a special experience for me as an entertainer and for my fans,” said Usher in a press release. “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.”
Directed by Anthony Mandler, the film features Usher’s signature hits like “My Boo,” “Yeah!” and “Love in This Club” with performances that include “never-before-seen costumes and state-of-the-art lighting and special effects.” It will also give fans “a glimpse inside life beyond the stage.”
Concert films have proven to be a huge success for AMC, especially in the past. Newsweek reported that AMC revealed that its huge jump in revenue in 2023’s fourth quarter was solely down to the concert movies Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé.

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,” said Adam Aron, chairman and CEO, of AMC Theatres, in a press release statement.
“Bringing his unparalleled concert experience to movie theatres for his fans around the world is a perfect fit for AMC Theatres Distribution.”
Tickets for the movie are set to go on sale beginning Aug. 6 on Usher’s website.
