Why hasn’t Beyoncé released RWT film and the live album. A THEORY

(cross posted from twitter irisberrycake)

Here’s my delusional LONG theory on why she hasn’t released the Renaissance film on and streaming and why there wasn’t a live album to follow it just like Homecoming. (p.s don’t take this a fact because we all know we can’t guess the horse ladies moves for example all the theories about the Jan 14 announcement)

We all know that she loves unconventional releases and strategies. She’s building anticipation! why rush it to streaming? She letting demand build amongst fans. (For example how we ask about it daily / rewatch it on illegal sites or watch fandom versions). We all want to relive watching it BUT she has a long term vision.

If all of our observations so far are right each act in the trilogy so far Renaissance (Act I) Cowboy Carter (Act II) and TBA (Act III) will seemingly get their own tours and film. Renaissance World Tour had Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé and I think Act II and Act III will follow suit. Given how the Cowboy Carter tour was just announced I could see after she finished with the tour her releasing Cowboy Carter: A Film by Beyoncé as she did with Renaissance.

Where am I going with this you might wondering she’s waiting until all the three acts are complete with the tour and films. Then she’s going to release a MASSIVE and EXPENSIVE (🥲) collectors edition that bundles the live albums on CD or Vinyl and maybe have DVD or Blu-ray of the films included with extra never before seen merchandise, photos, extra BTS that wasn’t included in the flim, etc. This is so she can capitalize on the whole act three arc with a item that will be of high value.

Her endgame is a deluxe box set with the live albums and films included together from all three acts. Skipping streaming keeps is wanting more and getting us ready for this big purchase in the future. By doing this demand Increases and a box set would appeal to fans willing to pay the price of this all in one package.

Bey is being smart why drop just pieces of the puzzle now when she can sell the whole masterpiece LATER. She’s keeping us guessing by delaying these releases and she’s known for her innovative rollouts.

A alleged collectors edition after Act III would be a get end to the trilogy (alongside the visuals if they exist) If I am right she’s playing the long game and the pay off will be great.

Will it be EXPENSIVE (if this is true) probably but that for the rich hive to worry about. If this isn’t true well just remember I made this up soooo don’t jump me. Also if the Netflix live streaming a show of the CCT rumor is true this might go out the window because she might not release a tour film for it then.

Now onto other questions you might have okay so if the box set is released will we ever get it on digital? Idk but my vision for that is she might or might not.

If she does I could there being a period where the box set is exclusive for fans who bought it (she’d wait a year/years or a months) and then bring it to a broader audience on streaming services.

She could drops the films on streaming services like Netflix (her best partner), Amazon Prime, or somewhere exclusive. The live albums will be dropped on music services. She’d wait to until the box set is sold out and resale prices on sites like eBay go up, which shows demand. Then she would tease the digital release with a teaser on social media that will keep the buzz alive and draw in fans alike who couldn’t buy the set or just causal listeners.

The gap will be long enough to show the box sets value but short enough to keep the momentum from act III tour and film.the box set gives what collectors and fans want. And the digital GETS everyone UP causal listeners, international listeners, or those who just missed out on the box set because of the price tag or no shipping access. This will make a lot of money, her team could change some the digital versions of the film so box set buyers don’t feel like they got it for nothing.

Make it exclusive for a while, the box set sells out fast leading to resales which would make demand for a cheaper option the next step.

Thanks for reading this long thread I may not be right but I enjoyed writing this. If she did do this I maybe could she her keeping it an exclusive to box set buyers but why wouldn’t she capitalize on a wider market. Honestly the truth might be that she just wanted to keep it theatrical and that’s fine 🤷🏽‍♀️

BOOKMARK this. Tell me what you think but don’t jump me in just having fun.
