As per Variety, the Lionsgate-released film had a budget of $15 million USD but was “ [u]nable to overcome terrible reviews and bad buzz.” Hurry Up Tomorrow serves as a companion piece to The Weeknd’s studio album of the same name and sees the artist, Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan star in the lead roles.

Billboard spoke with The Weeknd and Johnnie Burn about the sonics behind the superstar's first feature film Hurry Up Tomorrow, which is in theaters starting Friday (May 16).

Abel Tesfaye, the singer and sometime actor (“The Idol”) better known as the Weeknd, has called “Hurry Up Tomorrow” a “love letter” to his fans in an interview with the New York Times. Tesfaye, as he’s credited here, co-wrote the movie, and also produced it, stars in it and, with Daniel Lopatin, composed the music for it.
