James Cameron Brings Billie Eilish to the Big Screen as Concert Doc Locks Theatrical Date
Billie Eilish goes big-screen in 3D as she teams with James Cameron for an immersive concert documentary of her global tour, now officially set for theaters.
Billie Eilish is taking her latest tour to the big screen — in 3D — and she brought James Cameron with her. Yes, that James Cameron. The concert film has a date, a studio, and a plan, and it is not small.
The basics
The film is titled 'Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)' and it hits cinemas worldwide on March 20, 2026. Eilish announced it on Instagram right after the final night of her sold-out San Francisco stop, posting a photo with Cameron and confirming they co-directed the whole thing.
'HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D) coming to theatres on march 20th 2026 !!!! This has been one of my favorite tours everrrrrr and being able to capture it and co-direct this film with @jamescameronofficial has truly been a dream come true. can't wait for you all to see it.'
What the movie covers
It is a full-on concert documentary shot during Eilish's 2024–25 world tour behind her third album, 'Hit Me Hard and Soft.' That record debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and spun off the top-10 single 'Lunch.' Expect the tour performances in 3D — the format is the point here — not some quick streaming special.
Who is putting it out
Paramount Pictures is handling the global release, in association with Darkroom Records, Interscope Films, and Lightstorm Entertainment (Cameron's outfit). Presented in 3D. Big canvas, big screens.
How we got here
Eilish actually tipped this a while back during a sold-out show in Manchester, telling the crowd there were way more cameras than usual because something special was being shot. She could not say much then, but she did confirm it was a 3D collaboration with Cameron. Now we know exactly what that was.
About that James Cameron pairing
Eilish and Cameron co-directed the feature. On paper, that sounds surprising, but it tracks: Cameron has been living in 3D land for years. His recent focus is the Avatar sequels — the next one has been referred to as 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' — so if anyone is going to dial in a concert film's 3D, it is him.
