‘Happy Death Day 2U’ Will Now Release One Night Earlier Than Planned

Published

Up until today, the planned release date for writer/director Christopher Landon’s Happy Death Day 2U was Thursday night, February 14th, bringing the slasher sequel into theaters on Valentine’s Day. But we’ve learned tonight that the date has been moved to Wednesday, February 13th, out of respect for the lives lost in Parkland, Florida one year ago.

When Universal Pictures became aware last week that the one-year anniversary of the tragic events in Parkland, Florida fell on the Happy Death Day 2U release date, the studio spoke with victim advocates and immediately began the process of changing the release date of the film,” the studio explained. “Following discussions with its partners in exhibition, Universal will move the North American release date to February 13th. Additionally, the studio has decided not to show the film in Parkland and the surrounding areas. Outdoor, digital and in-theatre marketing for the film will be suspended in that market.

Universal added, “The studio understands the importance of memorializing the February 14th date as an opportunity to continue to allow the Parkland community to heal.”

Jessica Rothe is back in Happy Death Day 2U, wherein Tree Gelbman discovers that dying over and over was surprisingly easier than the dangers that lie ahead.
