Concert film 'Ultimo' breaks box office records: 80,000 viewers in two days

The concert film "Ultimo. Tutto live a Tor Vergata" has achieved extraordinary success in Italian cinemas, with nearly 80,000 viewers in just two days of screenings. The box office revenue exceeded 1.2 million euros, a record for this film genre that surpasses previous successes by artists like Ligabue and Vasco Rossi.

The documentary, which recounts the megaconcert held by the Roman singer last summer, was released in theaters on September 22. On the first day, it grossed over 850,000 euros, while on the second day, the earnings halved but still contributed to the exceptional result. The film will remain in theaters until September 30.

During the opening night, Ultimo made a surprise appearance in a couple of cinemas, as documented in a video posted on his social media profile titled "Surprise." The event demonstrated the strong bond between the artist and his audience.

Ultimo, the stage name of Niccolò Moriconi, is a Roman singer-songwriter born in 1996 who has achieved popular success through a series of albums with a powerful emotional impact. His music, characterized by introspective lyrics and catchy melodies, has cultivated a devoted following, evident in his increasingly large concerts.

The mega-concert at Tor Vergata, held in the summer of 2025, represented the peak of his live career, attracting tens of thousands of fans. The decision to transform that event into a concert film follows an established tradition in Italian music, started by artists like Vasco Rossi ("Modena Park") and Ligabue ("Campovolo"), but Ultimo's numbers have surpassed all previous records.

The box office success demonstrates how cinema can still be an effective medium for collective musical experiences, especially for artists who have built a special relationship with their audience. This phenomenon also represents a winning commercial strategy in the landscape of contemporary music entertainment.
