Stray Kids Concert Film Secures Theatrical Release

Bleecker Street’s event cinema division Crosswalk and Universal Pictures Content Group have acquired rights to a new concert film featuring K-pop group Stray Kids. The project captures the group’s sold-out performances at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium during their dominATE world tour.

The film, titled ‘Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience’, documents live shows from the eight-member act’s North American leg. Stray Kids performed multiple nights at the venue, drawing large crowds for their high-energy choreography and fan interactions.

Crosswalk specializes in limited theatrical runs for music and event content. The division previously handled releases for artists across genres, bringing concert experiences to cinema screens nationwide.

Universal Pictures Content Group manages distribution for non-traditional theatrical projects. The partnership allows wide access to the film in theaters equipped for premium sound and visuals.

Stray Kids formed under JYP Entertainment in 2017 through a reality survival program. The group consists of members Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N.

Their dominATE tour supported albums like ‘ATE’ and ‘MAXIDENT’. The stadium shows marked milestones in their growing international presence, with elaborate stage productions and setlists spanning hits.

Concert films have gained traction post-pandemic as alternative viewing options. Recent examples include successful runs for Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ and Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’.

This acquisition targets Stray Kids’ dedicated fanbase known as STAY. The group maintains strong streaming numbers and chart performance globally.

The release strategy involves one-night or limited engagements in select theaters. Specific dates and locations remain under announcement.

Stray Kids self-produce much of their music through subunit 3RACHA. Members contribute to writing, composing, and arranging tracks.

The SoFi performances featured extended stages and pyrotechnics. Fans attended in coordinated outfits and lightsticks synchronized to songs.

Event cinema provides immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos in participating venues. This enhances playback of the group’s intricate sound design.

Stray Kids achieved multiple Billboard chart entries in recent years. Albums debuted at high positions, reflecting crossover appeal.

The film joins a slate of music-related theatrical offerings. Distributors seek content filling non-traditional release windows.

Crosswalk and Universal aim to replicate success from prior concert acquisitions. Viewership data informs expansion potential.

Stray Kids continue touring and preparing new music. The group balances schedules with individual activities and endorsements.

This project offers fans unable to attend live shows a recorded alternative. It preserves moments from the dominATE era for archival viewing.
