Its distributor AMC says global advance ticket sales have topped $100m (£82m), adding demand "has been incredible from the moment it was first announced."

The firm says it took less than 24 hours for the movie to beat its record for the highest one-day sales.

That makes it the most profitable concert film in history, overtaking Justin Bieber's Never Say Never.

The Canadian singer's movie, which mixed documentary footage with live performance, made $99m (£81m) in 2011.
