What happens

Hurry Up Tomorrow is a 2025 American psychological thriller film starring Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye as a fictionalized version of himself, serving as a companion piece to his 2025 album. Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan also star. The film was directed by Trey Edward Shults and written by Shults, Tesfaye and Reza Fahim. In the film, Tesfaye, struggling with depression and insomnia, gets pulled into an existential odyssey by a mysterious fan. Development on Hurry Up Tomorrow began in September 2022 after psychological stress resulted in Tesfaye losing his voice during a concert. Co-writers Tesfaye and Fahim served as the film's producers, alongside Kevin Turen and Harrison Kreiss: Hurry Up Tomorrow was one of the final films produced by Turen and is dedicated to him. The film was the source of a dispute between Turen and Tesfaye's previous collaborator, Sam Levinson. It also reportedly failed to initially attract distributors. Principal photography began by February 2023 and concluded by that July. Hurry Up Tomorrow was theatrically released by Lionsgate in the United States on May 16, 2025. It received negative reviews, was widely described as a vanity project, and bombed at the box office, grossing $7.8 million worldwide. The film earned five nominations at the 46th Golden Raspberry Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
