Deadline reports that The Hate U Give release date has been slightly altered by the studio and will hit theaters two weeks earlier than originally planned.
The Hate U Give by Angela Thomas has to date spent 79 weeks on The New York Times young adult best-seller list after debuting at No.1.
The Hate U Give is a timely, powerful and thought-provoking story of race and identity, told from the perspective of Starr, played by Amandla Stenberg (The Hunger Games, As You Are).
The film will hit theaters on October 5th in limited release (where it faces slightly less competition at the box office) and will expand October 12 and go wide on October 19th.
