Billie Eilish Concert Movie ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ Sets Paramount+ Streaming Date

Paramount+ announced “Billie Eilish — Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour (Live)” will premiere Aug. 6 on the streaming service.

The concert movie was released in theaters on May 8 and has grossed $10 million in the United States and Canada to date, plus $27 million worldwide. Eilish co-directed alongside James Cameron.

Filmed during Eilish’s shows on her sold-out headline tour, the project marks her third concert film. The performances were captured at two arenas, one in Manchester, England, and one in Phoenix, Arizona.

The film utilized virtual reality 3D technology in partnership with Meta Platforms and Cameron’s Lightstorm Vision. The result is a concert film that feels more like an experience the audience at home is truly present for.

Featured are live performances from Eilish’s discography, including “bad guy,” “What Was I Made For?” from Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” “Happier Than Ever,” “Birds of a Feather” and “when the party’s over.”

Cameron, Eilish, Maria Wilhelm, John Brooks, Geoff Burdick, Paul Clarke, Maggie Baird, Justin Lubliner, John Janick, Steve Berman, Chelsea Dodson, Jason Owen and Michelle An are producers. Mikael Borglund is executive producer.

Eilish’s first concert film, “Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles,” was released in 2021 and directed by Robert Rodriguez and Patrick Osborne. Sam Wrench directed her second, “Billie Eilish: Live at the O2,” which premiered in 2023.

Paramount+ is already home to music content including scripted films and series like “Mean Girls” (2024), “George & Tammy” and “Better Man,” as well as documentary films and unscripted series like Baz Luhrmann’s “EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert,” Eminem’s “Stans,” Alicia Keys’ “Uncharted,” Cyndi Lauper’s “Let The Canary Sing” and “Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza.”
