If they’re just filming the audience tonight, then that’s what we’d in the film world call secondary or B-Roll footage. This is typically done either prior to or after a principle photography shoot to be used as inserts or filler shots when cutting away from the main action. If they’re doing this now, that seems to me to mean that the full filming of the show will likely take place during two of the upcoming three nights, most probably the last two nights. Jonas is present and likely supervising this, but he’s also still observing the show itself which means they haven’t done the principle photography yet. The night they’re doing that, he won’t be in the crowd, he’ll be in the command center observing all of the camera feeds and directing via headset. This has been done across pretty much all of her concert films (as it is for all) but its rare she’s camped out in one venue long enough for us to notice the two different types of filming.

Her American fans also treat her like royalty. Really don’t understand why the millions of people who love her, defend her, and show up constantly for her have to get lumped in with the people who don’t. There’s people in every country in the world who hate her and she’s taken a bashing in media from many, many countries that aren’t the US and yet we’re the only ones anyone ever talks about treating her poorly. Hardly fair when we all just showed up and showed out for an entire leg full of great shows where she was shown a ton of love and devotion.

We’ll see what happens but I could see this being done both for it’s just but it’d also look really good on camera.

Going to my second and final show of the tour tonight. So excited but sad it’ll be my last.

I too dabble in fan fiction from time to time

I hope to god Jonas isn't directing. He absolutely butchered the Rammstein: Paris film a few years back into genuinely the most unwatchable concert film of all time. It makes MDNA and Rebel Heart's films look like masterpieces.

If I recall, the full Paris shows Jonas filmed don’t exist. Pretty sure I’ve always read they did the same thing they did with Truth or Dare and only filmed select songs. The only full show that’s been filmed (and is available to anyone who wants it—I even have it on a fanmade blu-ray) is Lisbon. Not HD, but it’s in pretty good quality and is clearly a workprint or a first pass cut as it has complex editing in it. That’s all we’re ever gonna get.

Expect what you’ll get: nothing. We already have the complete Lisbon concert available via a leak in pretty good quality, I’m not sure what else there is to gain.

Oh I didn’t know that! Well, third time’s the charm for her coming on stage hopefully.

Oh if she brings Kylie out this is gonna be one for the history books. I cannot believe it’s taken this long for the two of them to be in the same room in this context. What an amazing time to be a fan of both. M’s amazing tour, Kylie’s amazing album and getting a new hit out of nowhere. Legendary stuff lately.

Love how we're still referring to this as the tour DVD when the chances of it getting a physical release in any form, let alone a DVD is slim to none LMAO This will go to streaming like all concert films do nowadays.

I'll happily eat my words if it happens but...I really don't see this Brazil thing being legit. DrownedMadonna was adamant that there were no current plans set up for any shows in South America and while it's always possible to add dates later, if the show is supposedly in May then there would 100% be plans in place now. It's also true DrownedMadonna isn't all knowing but there are other questions to consider about this rumor. Namely...where is the show going to be? There are not very many arenas in the country capable of handling this tour, but at the same time this stage isn't going to work in a stadium. Is the show being downsized? Upscaled? Different stage in Brazil altogether? Have they found a way to make it fit into one of these venues? I just see a lot of questions hanging over this, and no answers from any reliable sources. In fact the most reliable source out there that has ever made mention of a Brazil show only mentioned it to say it was not going to happen.

The MJ interlude is too important to the show's overall point to cut, and I'm amazed that by this point in the tour people are still not aware of that

They don’t do that. Not for tours, not for movies, nothing. Sources will post what adjusted figures are but no official ranking of tours or movies will ever use inflation numbers because that isn’t real money. It’s hypothetical money. A tour didn’t actually earn it’s inflation amount, it’s just what it theoretically would’ve earned if it took place today or was released today. And that isn’t a very effective tool for measuring grosses.

The floor was absolutely full, every show was packed to the gills. They just opted to not do general admission for these shows, likely so they could allow more people to be on the floor. Here is a photo (albeit blurry). There’s certainly more space between rows than there has been at other dates, but that’s more down to this is the largest stadium she’s played so far by quite large margin. The set up of the seating honestly reminds me of how they set up MDNA at Yankee Stadium (weird angled rows with fairly wide gaps between sections). As for why they’re not reporting the figures nobody knows. If I had to take a guess myself I’d say that, as impressive as the record is, I don’t know that she wants the tour’s legacy defined by it’s box office.
