Taylor Swift fans flocked to the AMC app to snatch up tickets as soon as the announcement went live that her "Eras Tour" was being turned into a movie. However, there was such a virtual stampede, the site crashed. AMC stayed ahead of any negative press by saying, "AMC is also aware that no ticketing system in history seems to have been able to accommodate the soaring demand from Taylor Swift fans when tickets are first placed on sale." They suggested fans get their tickets old-school style and physically go to AMC locations to get their tickets. According to a press release, every AMC Theatre in the US will run the "Eras Tour" movie at least four times per day on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays, starting October 13th. The tickets will cost $19.89 plus tax for adults and $13.13 for children and seniors.
With yesterday's announcement that her "Eras" Tour is coming to theaters October 13, the horror film "The Exorcist: Believer," which was previously scheduled to be released that day, was moved up a week.

Smart move: reports are that within hours of the announcement, Taylor's film took in over $10 million in presales - a month and a half out.
