The Weeknd’s 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' Flops with $3.3M Box Office Debut

The film, tied to his album and concluding his musical trilogy, faced poor reviews and commercial underperformance, raising questions about his acting career pivot.

Overview

  • Hurry Up Tomorrow opened to $3.3 million from 2,020 U.S. theaters, falling short of its $15 million budget and failing to crack the top five at the box office.
  • Critics widely panned the film, which holds a 14–16% score on Rotten Tomatoes, citing a weak script and lack of originality, though Jenna Ortega's performance received some praise.
  • The Weeknd, credited as Abel Tesfaye, co-wrote the movie with Trey Edward Shults and Reza Fahim, serving as a companion piece to his album of the same name and concluding his After Hours/Dawn FM trilogy.
  • Despite the film’s failure, the $3.3 million debut pushed Tesfaye’s cumulative box office earnings past $50 million, largely due to his role in Uncut Gems.
  • The film’s poor reception continues a challenging trend for Tesfaye’s acting career, following the critical and commercial disappointment of his HBO series The Idol.
