Bryan's daughter is going to Paris.
Bryan finds a map of Europe in the trunk.
Some dates and travel plans are written in the map of Europe.
Bryan thought that his daughter's supposed to stay only in Paris.
Bryan asks his wife about this.
---Dialogue of Bryan and his wife---
Bryan "Do you know about this? She's not just going to Paris."
His wife "I know."
Bryan "What is this."
His wife "It's U2's European tour dates."
----------------
I guess "it" and "dates" don't match together.
Did she make a mistake or is it okay to say like that?

I'm guessing he's showing her the map and asking, "What is this?". So when she answers, she's telling him what "it" is (a list of tour dates). So it's fine like that.
Thank you for your help. ^^

Bryan thought that his daughter's was supposed to stay only in Paris.
"It" doesn't refer to the dates. "It" in this case refers to the map containing the dates and travel plans. You are correct that "it" wouldn't refer to "dates". If he was questioning just the dates the conversation would go like this:
Bryan: "What are these?"
His wife: "They are U2's European tour dates." or "These are U2's European tour dates."
Thanks to you I can understand what it meant.
A hint is already shown in the bryans' question with 'this'.
Thanks for the corrections too!
Bryan finds a map of Europe in the her trunk.
Finding a map in "the" trunk doesn't make the connection. I assume the connection is to his daughter, which requires that you identify the trunk as "her" trunk.
Some dates and travel plans are written in the map of Europe.
We already know the map is of Europe, so you need not repeat this fact.
Bryan thought that his daughter's daughter was supposed to stay only be staying in Paris.
Bryan "Do Did you know about this?
His daughter's plans are already made, so you need to use the past tense here.
I guess "it" and "dates" don't match together.
Yes, it does. "It" refers to the map, which contains certain information. That information is U2's tour dates. So, it's okay to say "It/s U2's European tour dates" when answering the question about the map, "What is this?"
Well done!
I made a few changes to show how we commonly say something. You would certainly be understood, in any event.
I've been busy for my business for months.
The dialogue is actually what the script says in the movie.
You always give me a good explanation.
Thank you~
