- Paramount+ will begin streaming "Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour (Live)" in the U.S. on Thursday, August 6, following an 84-day theatrical exclusivity window.
- James Cameron co-directed the 3D concert film with Eilish, capturing her most recent tour for her third studio album.
- The film was released theatrically on May 8 and has grossed $10 million in the U.S. and Canada and $27 million worldwide to date.
- The documentary features live performances of Eilish's multi-platinum records including "bad guy," "What Was I Made For?," "Happier Than Ever," "Birds of a Feather," and "when the party's over."
- "Hit Me Hard and Soft" earned seven nominations at the 67th Grammy Awards in 2025, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year, with "Wildflower" also scoring Record of the Year and Song of the Year nods at the 68th Grammys in February.
- The Paramount Pictures film is produced by Cameron's Lightstorm Earth, Darkroom, and Interscope Films, with Cameron, Eilish, Maria Wilhelm, John Janick, and Steve Berman among the credited producers.
Why it matters: The Paramount+ streaming date closes a notably short 84-day theatrical window for a concert film that already pulled $27 million worldwide. For Paramount+, landing a tentpole music title built around one of the world's top touring artists gives the streamer a marquee summer addition without a long theatrical holdout.
