Beyoncé announces Renaissance Tour concert film: 'Start over, start fresh, create the new'

Bey Hive, grab some pure honey for your popcorn: The Renaissance Tour is coming to a theater near you.

Beyoncé, who wrapped her highly acclaimed Renaissance World Tour Sunday, announced Monday a film based on the concert tour will hit the big screen on Dec. 1.

"When I am performing, I am nothing but free. The goal for this tour was to create a place where everyone is free and no one is judged. You're unique," Beyoncé says in a preview of the movie as concert footage flashes in the background. "Start over, start fresh, create the new – that's what the Renaissance is about."

The movie "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé" will showcase the Grammy-winning artist's tour stops from the first show on May 10 in Stockholm, Sweden, to the show's finale in Kansas City, Missouri, on Oct. 1.

In addition to concert footage, the film will include portions of the visual album for Beyoncé's latest album "Renaissance" and a documentary-style account of the album and tour’s creation.

Inside Beyoncé's Renaissance tour

Beyoncé teased the film's announcement with an Instagram story countdown featured on her production company Parkwood Entertainment’s page.

The "Break My Soul" singer kicked off the Renaissance World Tour in Stockholm in May. Intense fan demand, which exceeded the number of tickets by 800%, prompted a follow-up show in the Swedish city and additional shows in North American cities such as Toronto, Chicago, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Beyoncé's native Houston.

The tour made its U.S. debut with a show at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field in July.

"Beyoncé is an unstoppable force of precise movement and vocal dynamics, a superstar who, two months shy of turning 42 and in the where-did-the-time-go third decade of her career, has raised – and cleared – her own ambitious bar yet again," USA TODAY music critic Melissa Ruggieri wrote of the singer's Philadelphia concert.

Aside from highlighting Queen Bey's extensive pop discography, the tour offered fans a colossal, eye-popping production that featured a slew of high fashion costumes, dazzling concept videos and guest appearances from Beyoncé's preteen daughter Blue Ivy.

Hollywood couldn't resist the Renaissance magic either. Several A-listers, including Keke Palmer, Sofia Vergara, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, Selena Gomez and rumored couple Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, attended the singer's SoFi Stadium shows in Inglewood, California, on Sept. 1 and Sept. 2.

Beyoncé took a moment during the September shows to express gratitude to fans for their longtime support.

"I'm grateful to have this perspective and this view of all of you," Beyoncé said. "I've been able to do what I do for over 26 years — going on 27 years. It's because of you. It's because of your loyalty. It's because of your prayers. I just want to say, 'Thank you.' "
