With his sixth album, “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” the Weekend is retiring his moniker and going out on his own terms.

Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, is making his big-screen debut in a leading role in "Hurry Up Tomorrow." This feature-length film, which shares its name with his sixth studio album, will hit theaters on May 16.

Trey Edward Shults directed Abel Tesfaye's first feature inspired by the pop star's upcoming album and concert tour of the same name and set for a May 16 theatrical release by Lionsgate.
