'In the Heights' Movie Is Being Released Even Sooner!

Here’s some exciting news for musical theatre fans – the In the Heights movie is being released even earlier than expected!

While the movie was delayed by nearly a full year because of the pandemic, fans will now get to see the film a week earlier than previously announced.

Warner Bros. just revealed that In the Heights‘ release date has been moved from June 18 to June 11.

Director Jon M. Chu wrote on Twitter, “Surprise. We coming to Theaters one week earlier!!! There has been so much demand since our trailer release this week that we decided to get it out to you sooner. Let’s gooooooooooooo!!!! See you soon. JUNE 11th 2021.”

In the Heights, based on the Broadway musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda, will be available to stream on HBO Max on the same day it hits theaters.

Here is the movie’s synopsis: “Lights up on Washington Heights…The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life.”

Also starring in the movie are Corey Hawkins, Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Gregory Diaz IV, Stephanie Beatriz, Dascha Polanco, and Jimmy Smits.
