WB Moves Up ‘In The Heights’ Release Date

Warner Bros. is moving up the Jon M. Chu directed feature musical ‘In The Heights’ from June 18 to June 11.

The movie, which is feature adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegría Hudes’s Tony Award-winning musical, dropped a new trailer last weekend.

In the Heights is set in the titular Latinx community of New York City’s bustling Washington Heights.
