The movie focuses on her concert in Manchester in the United Kingdom, and is co-directed by the singer herself, as well as Academy Award winner James Cameron. Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft has brought in more than $25 million at the box office, making it a hugely successful concert movie. The project arrived in theaters shortly before the LP reached a longevity milestone – one which the Grammy and Oscar winner has seen before.
This time around, Hit Me Hard and Soft returns to the top 40 on the Billboard 200, the chart company's list of the 200 most-consumed albums and EPs in America. The gain is due largely thanks to the success of the movie, and as it climbs, Hit Me Hard and Soft reaches 104 weeks – exactly two years – on the most competitive albums roster in the nation.
