Netizens LOL as The Weeknd announces early one night screening for fans for Hurry Up Tomorrow on May 14

If there’s one thing The Weeknd knows how to do besides make heartbreak sound sexy it’s keep fans on their toes. Or, in this case, crawling over one another for tickets like it’s a Black Friday flat-screen sale.

Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd, aka man of many moody faces) just announced an early fan screening for his upcoming film HURRY UP TOMORROW. But here's the twist: it’s one night only. Nationwide. May 14. And that collective screech you just heard? That was the internet realizing they might need to auction off their organs for a ticket.

The Weeknd announces one-night-only screening and chaos erupts

The announcement came via social media with minimal details: a one-night fan screening, and tickets dropping April 17. That’s it. No crumbs. No trailer. Just vibes.

Naturally, the post exploded faster than a tweet from Elon Musk. For fans who've been suspiciously eyeing the phrase HURRY UP TOMORROW in cryptic Weeknd posts for months, this felt like the equivalent of being handed one fry after asking for a meal. Delicious, yes but painfully insufficient.

It didn’t take long for fans to process the announcement and immediately spiral.

One night only? Fans have been emotionally preparing for HURRY UP TOMORROW like it’s the cinematic second coming. A single screening feels like dangling a diamond-encrusted mic in front of a stadium crowd and then cutting the power.

Combine that with The Weeknd’s track record of going full drama mode (hello, After Hours era), and you’ve got the perfect storm: high stakes, high fashion, and very, very high stress.

Fans took to the internet to process their grief the only way they know how by being absolutely unhinged.

One user wasn’t even pretending to be okay anymore. Channeling the energy of someone who just got waitlisted for Beyoncé’s birthday party, they wrote:

“Weeknd bout to make us starve for this film 😩”

Honestly? Same. The man could drop a 10-second trailer of him blinking and fans would still ask for it in IMAX.

Another fan, clearly weighing their financial options like a Wall Street broker on espresso, tweeted:

“One night only?? I’ll sell a kidney for a ticket if I have to.”

And you know what? In this economy, that’s not even dramatic it’s resourceful.

Meanwhile, someone else must’ve seen into the future because their prediction was brutal in its simplicity:

“Sold out.”

Not “it will sell out.” Just... already gone. Like tickets evaporated the moment The Weeknd hit “post.”

Then, in a delicious twist of ironic denial, a fan declared:

“WE DON’T WANT IT.”

Of course, this is the internet equivalent of slamming your door after being grounded. You want it. You just can’t have it.

Another person, presumably already sharpening their elbows for battle, said:

“Bruh, one night only? Gotta finesse them tix 😤”

It’s giving Hunger Games. But for artsy music films.

Another fan summed up:

"Weeknd’s film drops may 14 but tickets vanish april 17—fan screening chaos incoming set those alarms the rush is real."

If The Weeknd’s goal was to cause mild emotional distress before even dropping a trailer mission accomplished. The man’s not just selling a movie; he’s selling the chaos that comes with trying to see the movie.

Whether you love him for the music, the mystique, or the ability to send fans into a frenzy with a single sentence, one thing’s clear: May 14 is about to be the most dramatic Wednesday night of the year.

So mark your calendars. Or your forearms. Just be ready.

Because this might be the only time you’ll hear someone say, “Sorry, I can’t come out tonight I’m emotionally booked with The Weeknd.”
