The film, produced by Meledandri and his longtime collaborator Janet Healy, features more than 65 hit songs.
The concert is the latest promotional partnership between YouTube and the studios.
Earlier this year, YouTube Spaces in Los Angeles and New York hosted dozens of top YouTube and mainstream talent to film content on Sing-inspired sets designed by Illumination artists.
