On February 10, 2019, the first trailer for the film was shown at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, promoting an American theatrical release on June 7, 2019 by CBS Films.[8] The film will be released in UK on July 15, 2019.[10]

Reception

Box office

Pavarotti has grossed $583,088 in the United States and Canada, and will be released in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $583,088, against an unknown production budget.[1]

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 85% based on 39 reviews, with an average rating of 6.76/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Pavarotti pays entertaining tribute to a towering cultural figure with a documentary whose evident affection for its subject proves contagious."[11] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 67 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[12]

CBS News said the "new documentary about Pavarotti soars like his legendary voice".[13] USA Today said the film "serves as a vivid reminder of just how huge a role the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti played for a generation" and that "the passionate way the infectiously beaming, Hawaiian shirt-loving opera star lived his life is the most enchanting element of Pavarotti."[14] The New York Times said "If Luciano Pavarotti ever had a bad day, you wouldn't know it from Pavarotti, an upbeat film that recounts the singer's life, or at least its better moments."[15] On the other hand, NPR said the film "misses all the right notes," adding "Pavarotti feels like a missed chance to tell a good story."[16] The Washington Post described the documentary as "terrible but timely", a "mediocre film, imperfect and annoying," that opera lovers should nevertheless watch.[17]
