Similar to Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé (2019), the film chronicles the development and execution of her 2023 Renaissance World Tour, conducted to support her seventh studio album Renaissance (2022). Beyoncé signed a distribution agreement with AMC Theatres and announced the concert film after concluding the tour in Kansas City, Missouri. The film depicts the creation of Renaissance and the production of the tour. Her family members, namely husband Jay-Z, parents Mathew and Tina Knowles, cousin Angela Beyincé, and three children Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir Carter are featured in the film. Diana Ross, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kendrick Lamar are featured in musical performances; former Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett make brief appearances throughout the film. 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.
