Glee: The 3D Concert Movie is a 2011 American

3D concert documentary film directed by Kevin Tancharoen and produced by Dante Di Loreto and Ryan Murphy. It is based on the Fox television series Glee and features the cast performing during the Glee Live! In Concert! tour. The film was Cory Monteith and Mark Salling
's final film roles before their deaths in July 2013 and January 2018 respectively.

The film was released theatrically by 20th Century Fox in the United States on August 12, 2011. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment, grossing only $18 million worldwide on a $9 million budget.[4][5]

Synopsis

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie depicts a

gay named Trenton, one with Asperger syndrome named Josey Pickering, and a cheerleader with short stature named Janae.[8]
The fan segments were created by documentary filmmaker Jennifer Arnold.

Cast

Holly Holliday on the series, appears uncredited (credited in the "songs performed by..." section, on the song "Forget You"), while Jane Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester in the series, appears uncredited in an opening scene only included on the DVD/Blu-ray release.[9] Ten actors and dancers appear as the Dalton Academy Warblers, joining Criss for a mini-set of three songs. Four of these Warblers appeared on the Glee TV series in the second season: Titus Makin Jr. (David), Curt Mega (Nick), Riker Lynch (Jeff), and Jon Hall (vocal percussionist).[10]

Production

Background

In May 2010, the Glee cast performed a sold-out 13-date North American concert tour.[11] A European extension of the tour was announced in November of that year,[12] and further North American dates were added for May and June 2011.[13]

In early May 2011, it was announced that

Gary Newman, chairman of 20th Century Fox, expanded: "Part of what motivated us to do this movie in the first place is there was such a clamoring among Glee fans who said, 'Why didn't you bring this tour to my city?' They felt left out because we only went to four cities during our first tour. This movie will give fans—not just in the US but around the world—the chance to experience the 'Glee' concert in a visceral way." Newman said that the 3D format was chosen to give the audience "an immersing experience", and that the project is principally about "brand extension". He suggested that Glee is apt to work in the medium of film as many fans are teenagers and young adults, the prime concert film demographic, and are able to relate to Glee's central themes such as inclusion.[7]

Filming

Filmed on June 16–17, 2011, at the

Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert and Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.[6] Such budget was later revealed by The Hollywood Reporter to be $9 million.[2]

Box office

The film opened exclusively in 3D in 2,040 theaters. It performed below expectations in its opening weekend, earning just $5.7 million and failing to appear in the box office top 10.[3] The film was expected to open in the $10–12 million range.[20] As of September 29, 2011, the film had grossed $11,862,398 domestically and $18,252,398 worldwide, based on a $9 million budget.[3] In the United States, the film is the seventh highest-grossing music concert film of all time.[21]
