Katy Perry is bringing the spectacle of The Lifetimes Tour to the big screen.
Following its well-received premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival, “Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour: Live From Paris”will begin screening in cinemas worldwide on September 2, 2026, for a limited theatrical run.
Trafalgar Releasing announced that the concert film will launch across 70 countries, including the United Kingdom and Ireland, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, France, and Australia. The release will also include exclusive IMAX previews in the United States on opening day.
A Larger-Than-Life Concert Experience
Filmed during two sold-out performances in Paris in November 2025, the movie captures one of the most ambitious productions of Katy Perry’s career.
A 60-camera setup was used to bring audiences closer to the action, offering sweeping views of the stage, aerial performances, crowd reactions, and elaborate visual effects. Rather than simply documenting the concert from a distance, the film moves through the show and presents angles that fans could not experience from their seats.
The result is a vibrant, immersive production designed for the scale and sound of the cinema.
Throughout the concert, Perry combines powerful vocals with demanding choreography and theatrical stunts. She performs above the audience, sings while suspended upside down, and travels around the arena on a giant winged butterfly.
Every sequence is built around color, movement, and spectacle, creating a joyful big-screen celebration of Perry’s music and stage presence.
A Setlist Filled With Katy Perry Hits
The concert film features songs from across Perry’s career, including some of her most recognizable singles.
Among the tracks included are “Teenage Dream,” “California Gurls,” “Dark Horse,” “Roar,” “Firework,” and “The One That Got Away.”
The latter experienced renewed global popularity in 2026, reaching the Top 10 of Spotify’s Global Top 50 chart. Its resurgence also contributed to increased interest in Perry’s music catalog.
According to the information provided, Perry surpassed 10 million followers on TikTok and reached more than 91 million monthly listeners on Spotify, marking a new career high and placing her among the platform’s most-streamed female artists.
The Lifetimes Tour Reached More Than One Million Fans

The tour included 91 shows across 23 countries and five continents over seven and a half months. It began in Mexico City on April 23 and concluded in Abu Dhabi on December 7.
The itinerary also featured six performances in China, a notable achievement due to the limited number of performance permits granted to Western artists.
In addition to its commercial success, the tour supported several charitable initiatives.
A total of $264,814 was donated to the Firework Foundation in the United States. The tour also donated £81,918, listed as $109,128 in the supplied information, to Music Venue Trust in the United Kingdom.
Trafalgar Releasing Brings the Show to KatyCats Worldwide
“Katy Perry’s Lifetimes Tour was larger than life and this film captures every ounce of the concert— reimagined to feel as if you’re at a tour stop,” said Kymberli Frueh, Executive Vice President of Content Acquisitions and Programming at Trafalgar Releasing.

Producer Daniel E. Catullo III also described the film as an opportunity for more fans to experience the tour.
“We’re thrilled to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to KatyCats around the world,” said Producer Daniel E. Catullo III. “More than a million fans experienced this tour live, and now millions more will have the opportunity to see it like never before on the big screen.”

A mother’s face is supposed to bring comfort. In “Other Mommy,” it becomes the face of something terrifying.
Jessica Chastain takes on a chilling dual role in the upcoming supernatural horror film, playing both Ursula, the mother of a young girl named Bela, and a sinister entity that has copied her appearance.
Produced by James Wan and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, “Other Mommy” opens in Philippine cinemas on October 7.
A Familiar Face Hides a Dark Presence
At the center of the story is Bela, a young girl who begins interacting with a mysterious presence inside her home.
Looking almost exactly like Ursula, it slowly builds a relationship with Bela while creating fear, confusion, and suspicion within the family. What first appears familiar soon becomes deeply unsettling, especially as the entity’s true intentions begin to surface.
With the threat wearing the face of someone Bela trusts, separating love from danger becomes increasingly difficult.
Jessica Chastain Takes on Two Haunting Roles
Chastain portrays both Ursula and the supernatural being imitating her likeness.
Known for her performances in “Interstellar,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” and “It Chapter Two,” the multi-award-winning actress brings two strikingly different characters to life.
As Ursula, she plays a mother trying to protect her child from a threat that seems impossible to explain. As Other Mommy, she becomes the very source of that terror, turning a familiar voice, face, and presence into something sinister.
The result is a disturbing contrast between safety and fear, all embodied by the same actress.
“Other Mommy” is based on Josh Malerman’s 2024 New York Times bestselling novel, “Incidents Around the House.”
Malerman is also the author of “Bird Box,” the acclaimed horror novel that inspired a popular screen adaptation.
Told from the perspective of a child, “Incidents Around the House” explores family, trust, and the terror of realizing that something dangerous may already be living inside the home.
Its unsettling premise now comes to the big screen under the direction of Rob Savage.
A Strong Ensemble Enters Bela’s Nightmare
Joining Chastain in the film are Dichen Lachman of “Severance,” Arian Moayed of “Succession,” and Karen Allen of the “Indiana Jones” films.
Together, the cast brings Bela’s increasingly frightening world to life as the entity’s hold over the family grows stronger.
Behind the camera, producer James Wan lends his experience in modern horror to the project, while director Rob Savage brings the story’s childlike perspective and creeping dread to the screen.
As Bela becomes more attached to Other Mommy, the danger inside the house becomes harder to ignore.
And when the monster looks exactly like your mother, who can you trust?
Don’t Be Fooled by Her Face
“Other Mommy” transforms the image of a loving parent into the center of a supernatural nightmare.
With Jessica Chastain playing both protector and threat, the film promises a tense and unsettling horror experience built around one frightening question: What if the person who looks like your mother is not your mother at all?
“Other Mommy” opens in Philippine cinemas on October 7.

After becoming a leading man, his meteoric rise is tragically cut short when the actions of a local crime boss leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and seemingly left with nothing, Matt turns to an experimental, cutting-edge treatment.
At first, the procedure appears miraculous. It restores Matt to his former self and seemingly gives him another chance at the life he lost.

As Matt’s grip on reality begins to weaken, his pain and anger push him toward an all-consuming quest for revenge. What follows is a disturbing transformation that may leave Gotham facing one of its most unpredictable threats yet.

Adapted from the acclaimed bestselling novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the series will debut with its first two episodes on Thursday, August 6, at 9:00 a.m., exclusively on Disney+ Philippines.
Privilege, Obsession, and Fear Collide
Set in the sun-soaked yet sinister world of 1980s Los Angeles, “The Shards” follows a group of wealthy high school seniors attending an elite preparatory school.
On the surface, their lives appear effortless. They move through a world filled with lavish parties, beauty, status, and excess. Beneath the glamour, however, jealousy, desire, and obsession begin to expose the cracks in their seemingly perfect lives.
As the teenagers struggle with identity, relationships, and the pressures of adolescence, a far more terrifying threat begins to close in.
A Mysterious Arrival Changes Everything
At the center of the story is Bret, played by Igby Rigney, an observant teenager with dreams of becoming a writer.
Bret carefully studies the people and events around him, but his grip on reality begins to weaken after the arrival of Robert Mallory, portrayed by Homer Gere.
Charismatic, secretive, and impossible to ignore, Robert transfers to the school shortly before senior year. His appearance coincides with the growing panic surrounding The Trawler, a serial killer targeting teenagers throughout Los Angeles.
With each new incident, Bret becomes increasingly suspicious of Robert. What begins as curiosity soon develops into a consuming fixation, blurring the line between instinct, paranoia, and dangerous obsession.
A Glamorous Group Pulled into Darkness
Bret is surrounded by an affluent and tightly connected social circle made up of Susan Reynolds, played by Kaia Gerber; Debbie Schaffer, played by Hayes Warner; and Thom Wright, played by Graham Campbell.
Together, they move through a polished world of privilege, temptation, and hidden tensions. Their friendships are tested as fear spreads across the city and the darker side of their relationships comes into focus.
The promise of their youth also stands in sharp contrast to the troubled adults around them.
Wes Bentley stars as Terry Schaffer, while Evan Rachel Wood plays Liz Schaffer. Jordan Roth joins the cast as Steven Reinhardt.
As secrets build and suspicions intensify, the characters are drawn further into a world where beauty can conceal danger and desire can have deadly consequences.

The series is executive produced by Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Bret Easton Ellis, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, Nissa Diederich, Tanase Popa, Nick Hall, Michael Uppendahl, Max Winkler, Kathleen McCaffrey, and Brian Young.
