‘Becoming Led Zeppelin’ sets new IMAX record

The new documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin did blockbuster business in its first weekend in release.

The movie opened exclusively in IMAX theaters and set a record in the U.S., bringing in $2.6 million, which is the biggest opening weekend ever for an IMAX exclusive music release. The film also landed in the top 10 on the weekend box office.

Overall, the film brought in $3 million from showings in 16 countries and territories.

Becoming Led Zeppelin, described as a “hybrid docu-concert film,” is the first officially sanctioned documentary about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group. It features new interviews from the surviving members of the band, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, as well as rare and previously unseen Led Zeppelin performance footage.

Becoming Led Zeppelin opens in theaters nationwide on Friday.
