Stray Kids’ Concert Film shatters Pre-Sale Records

Stray Kids are once again rewriting the record books, this time transitioning their explosive stage presence to the silver screen.

According to recent reports, the group’s upcoming concert movie, titled Stray Kids:

The dominATE Experience, has achieved a staggering milestone by earning over $1.4 million USD in U.S. ticket pre-sales in less than 24 hours.

This extraordinary demand reflects the group’s massive global popularity and the unwavering support of their fandom, STAY, who have turned the film’s release into a major cinematic event.

The concert film is scheduled to officially hit theaters on February 6, 2026. It offers fans an immersive look at the group’s historic performance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, one of the most significant stops of their world tour.

Due to the overwhelming pre-sale numbers, theater chains have already begun expanding showtimes nationwide to accommodate the massive influx of fans, moving beyond the originally planned limited screenings.

Documenting the Record-Breaking “dominATE” World Tour

Directed by the renowned Paul Dugdale, The dominATE Experience is more than just a concert recording; it is a document of a historic cultural phenomenon.

The “dominATE” World Tour has been a record-breaking run for Stray Kids, particularly in North America.

The North American leg alone grossed approximately $76.2 million USD, officially becoming the highest-grossing and best-selling K-pop tour leg in the region’s history.

These figures underscore the group’s status as a primary leader of the fourth-generation K-pop movement.

The scope of the entire tour is even more impressive, reaching an estimated 2.15 million attendees worldwide and generating a total revenue of roughly $260 million USD.

This makes it the largest concert tour ever conducted by a K-pop group, surpassing previous industry benchmarks.

By capturing this specific era of their career on film, Stray Kids are ensuring that the energy and scale of the “dominATE” tour are preserved for fans who couldn’t attend in person, while also providing a commemorative experience for those who did.

Expanding Influence and Future Headlining Slots

The success of the concert film comes amidst a flurry of other high-profile activities for the group.

Stray Kids were recently announced as headliners for the prestigious Governors Ball music festival in New York, where they will share the stage with global icons like Lorde and A$AP Rocky.

This follows their historic headlining set at Lollapalooza in 2024, further solidifying their crossover appeal and their ability to command the main stage at some of the world’s most significant music festivals.

For Stray Kids, this film is a testament to their growth from a self-producing boy group into a global stadium act.

For the industry, it serves as a powerful indicator of the growing commercial viability of K-pop concert films in the Western market.

With millions already banked before the first screening, the group is set to dominate the box office just as they have dominated the global music charts.
