Billie Eilish and James Cameron’s Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour concert film delayed

January 27, 2026 – Radio 854 Music News:

January 27, 2026 — Fans of Billie Eilish waiting to see the highly anticipated concert film Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) will have to wait a bit longer. The movie — co-directed by pop sensation Billie Eilish and legendary filmmaker James Cameron — has been pushed back from its original March 20 release to Friday, May 8, 2026.

Originally scheduled to hit theaters this spring, the 3D concert experience was captured during Eilish’s sold-out Hit Me Hard and Soft world tour and promised to deliver an immersive look at one of the most talked-about live shows of recent years.

🎬 Why the Delay?

In an update posted on Instagram, James Cameron explained the reason behind the postponement: the team is taking extra time to refine the edit, incorporate new 3D technology, and add special behind-the-scenes content that they say fans will love.

Cameron’s message reassured audiences that the additional work is aimed at enhancing the cinematic experience, rather than a sign of trouble, writing that the film will be “worth the wait.” Billie Eilish echoed that sentiment on her own social channels, promising fans that the extra time will pay off.

🔥 What to Expect

The concert film marks a significant milestone in Eilish’s career — combining cutting-edge visuals with her dynamic stage presence captured live in 3D. It’s set to be one of the music events of the year when it finally premieres in May.

This isn’t Billie’s first concert movie — she previously released Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles in 2021 — but it’s her most ambitious to date, thanks to the collaboration with Hollywood blockbuster director James Cameron.

🗓️ New Date to Remember

• New Release Date: Friday, May 8, 2026

• Original Release Date: Friday, March 20, 2026

• Format: Theatrical 3D release
