Hamilton architect and star Lin-Manuel Miranda spilled the beans last night on The Tonight Show that the filmed version of his Tony-winning period Broadway show will hit theaters on Sept. 5. Disney will have more details very soon on this. The release date is already on Comscore.
Disney in February 2020 bought the filmed version of the stage show for $75M, planning a theatrical release for October 2021. Covid sidetracked those plans and Hamilton dropped on Disney+ in July 2020 to great viewership success and ultimately two Emmy wins in a 12 nom count, including Outstanding Variety Special.
Hamilton will face off during the post Labor Day weekend with New Line’s Conjuring: Last Rites.
Among box office benchmarks for Hamilton, the staged musical in previews made $400M in Chicago, breaking the B.O. record for a theater in the Windy City.
