Taylor Swift has knocked Spider-Man off his throne — at least when it comes to ticket sales hype.

Swift announced her Eras Tour is coming to the big screen as a feature film, premiering in AMC theaters only across the US on October 13.

In the first 24 hours of sales on Thursday, Swift's Eras Tour movie racked up $26 million in ticket-sales revenue, AMC said.

That set a new record for single-day ticket preorders at AMC, the company said, beating the previous champ, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" by nearly $10 million.

"Spider-Man," which premiered in 2021, had held the record at $16.9 million in ticket sales on the first day, AMC said.

Yet Swift's Eras Tour movie "shattered" that record in just under three hours.

Due to the high demand, AMC said it is adding showtimes where it becomes "necessary and available" to keep up with Swifties who are dying to see the pop icon on stage again.

AMC is already showing the concert film "at least four showtimes per day on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, at every AMC theatre location in the United States."

Swift just wrapped her first mammoth leg of the Eras Tour in North America. She's set to resume the tour in Buenos Aires in November for a short South America leg, then pick the tour back up in Japan in February.
