Billie Eilish and James Cameron's highly anticipated concert film has been delayed, with its new release date set for May 8. Originally scheduled for a late March release, the three-dimensional film is expected to be worth the wait, according to both creators.
The movie, titled "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D)," will feature footage from Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, which took place in 2024-2025. The concert film was first announced at one of the pop star's shows in Manchester, England, where she teased that it would be shot in 3D.
Cameron shared behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram, highlighting his work reviewing footage with Eilish. "We're refining the cut; dialing in cool, new 3D tech; adding some special behind-the-scenes we know you'll love," he wrote. He also confirmed that the film will now arrive in theaters on May 8th.
Eilish echoed Cameron's sentiments by resharing his post on her Story, saying "promise it will be worth the wait." The Oscar-winning duo has been building anticipation for this project since December when they unleashed a trailer promising "no one's shot a concert film on this scale before."
With the delay announced Monday (Jan. 26), fans now have to wait almost two months longer to experience Eilish's electrifying performance in 3D.

Billie Eilish is always on point with her music and live performances, and James Cameron is a genius behind the camera. He's done some crazy cool stuff in his movies, like Avatar. I love how they're teasing us with these behind-the-scenes pics on Instagram - it looks like we're gonna get an epic experience. The wait for May 8th feels so worth it though 
. I mean, a concert film in 3D? That's just next level. Eilish and Cameron are killing the game with this one 
I've been waiting for like forever for this concert film and now it's gonna take TWO MORE MONTHS TO GET IT!!!!!! 
I'm so stoked that billie eilish and james cameron are putting in the extra effort to make it even more EPIC!!! 
The trailer was SO COOL!!! 
Can't wait to see the behind-the-scenes peeks and get a closer look at billie's insane performances!!!!! 
... May 8th now can't come soon enough 
I guess the wait will be worth it though, James Cameron is a genius behind the scenes and Billie's concert tour was insane so I'm sure this film will be lit 
. First, they announce that it's gonna be a huge release and now we gotta wait till May? That's like giving us a teaser before the actual event, you know what I'm sayin'? 
It's all about building anticipation but also control. Maybe they're trying to distract us from something else 
. And what's with the delay? Almost two months longer? That's a lotta time for them to make some changes... or is it? 
Ah, I feel for all the Billie Eilish stans out there! 
. But hey, from what we've seen so far (like those behind-the-scenes pics from James Cameron), I think it's gonna be totally worth it 
... let's just say this one's gonna be EPIC 
May is gonna feel like forever... I know it's supposed to be worth the wait but come on, can't they just give us a release date already? 
at least we get some behind-the-scenes peeks from Cameron tho, that's something. also, have you seen the trailer? that 3D tech better be 
i feel like they're killing me over here... a 3d concert film is gonna be lit, no doubt about it 
. but still gotta feel bad for all those people who were countin' down the days till march... now they're stuck with an extra month of anticipation 
Are we just too used to having our entertainment spoon-fed to us on a silver platter that we can't even handle a little extra time to get it right?
I mean, don't get me wrong, Billie Eilish is an incredible performer and all, but can we really justify the hype surrounding this movie?
! I've been waiting since the trailer dropped in Dec and it's gonna be so epic when it comes out on May 8th 
. I love how James Cameron is pushing the boundaries of 3D tech, can't wait to see the behind-the-scenes footage 
anyway, imo its gonna be worth the wait cuz cam and billie are known for their perfectionism & quality.
