Usher expressed his excitement about the film, stating, “Paris was a special experience for me as an entertainer and for my fans. 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 showcases Usher’s iconic hits like ‘My Boo’, ‘Yeah!’ and ‘Love in This Club’, featuring performances with "never-before-seen costumes and state-of-the-art lighting and special effects." It also offers a look behind the scenes, providing fans with "a glimpse inside life beyond the stage."

Supported by AMC Theatres Distribution and Trafalgar Releasing in partnership with Sony Music Vision, the film is scheduled for a limited release in approximately 2,000 theatres worldwide from Thursday through Sunday.

Adam Aron, chairman and CEO of AMC Theatres, highlighted Usher's impact, saying, “For 30 years Usher has captivated and entertained audiences through his music and concerts. Just a few months ago, he drew rave reviews for his stunning performance in front of 129 million people during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Bringing his unparalleled concert experience to movie theatres for his fans around the world is a perfect fit for AMC Theatres Distribution.”
