AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande is reportedly set to earn $5.2 million (£4 million) for a Netflix film of her Sweetener World Tour.
The “7 Rings” singer has hinted a film about the 97-date trek could be on the way when questioned by a fan on Twitter last week (end2Aug20).
According to British newspaper The Sun, the prospect has sparked a bidding war, with Netflix chiefs ready to offer as much as $5.2 million for the rights.
An insider tells the publication, “Ariana’s team are negotiating a huge deal between a number of big hitters, with Netflix and YouTube both showing interest. Netflix has put forward a starting offer of £4 million ($5.2 million) to get the rights.”
“The deal is being negotiated by Ari’s closest advisers, led by Scooter Braun. She had cameras following her every move on the Sweetener World Tour last year.”
Speaking about the nature of the likely film, the source adds, “Along with her performances, Ariana was filmed backstage, while travelling and during downtime. It will be a brutally honest and raw depiction of how tough life can be on the road but will include the happier, heart-warming times too.”
Ariana previously worked with YouTube on a docu-series in 2018, which showed her on the road during her “Dangerous Woman” tour.
