The Weeknd’s giving fans a front-row seat to his big screen debut! On May 14, 2025, a one-night-only screening of Hurry Up Tomorrow—tied to his chart-topping album—drops before the public gets it. Here’s why Abel’s faithful are buzzing.
Screening Scoop
Announced on Instagram this week, tickets hit April 17. “Be the first to see the film plus stay after for never-before-seen bonus content,” The Weeknd teased. Snag a bundle now for signed posters and tees. Directed by Trey Edward Shults, the flick stars Barry Keoghan, Jenna Ortega, and Abel himself—who’s also scoring it with Daniel Lopatin. Lionsgate’s Adam Fogelson hyped it: “A psychological thriller that’ll usher in a new cinematic experience.”
Album Domination
The Hurry Up Tomorrow album crashed the Billboard 200 in February with 490,500 units—nearly gold in week one. It’s the biggest debut since Taylor Swift’s 2.6M-unit Tortured Poets in May 2024, and the top R&B/hip-hop week since Travis Scott’s Utopia (496k) in 2023. Compared to Dawn FM’s 148k No. 2 bow in 2022, it’s a leap—capping his After Hours–Dawn FM trilogy with a 22-track (plus two bonus) bang. Could it be his last as The Weeknd? He’s hinted it’s a stage-name swan song.
