Happy Death Day 2U release date moved forward
Universal Pictures has announced that they will be changing the theatrical release date for Blumhouse’s forthcoming Happy Death Day 2U. Originally set to debut on February 14, the film will open one day earlier to avoid opening on the one year anniversary of the horrendous Parkland Shooting.
“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,” Universal said in a statement. “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. The studio understands the importance of memorializing the February 14th date as an opportunity to continue to allow the Parkland community to heal.”
