The end credits feature "My House", a 2023 single by Beyoncé in support of the film.
The film premiered at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles on November 25, 2023, before the theatrical release in the United States on December 1. The film received universal praise from critics and fans alike, who praised the concert footage, production, behind-the-scenes elements and Beyoncé's stage presence, and has grossed over $44 million at the global box office.
