Lin-Manuel Miranda has announced that the Hamilton movie will be released on July 3, 2020.
It’s a huge shift forward in release date for the movie, which was originally scheduled for release in theaters on October 15, 2021.
It’s only a matter of time…
Our Hamilton film.
THIS July 3rd.

The movie is not a film recreation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s famous stage musical, but a recording of the theatrical performance itself, allowing those who have been unable to attend the show in person to view it from home.
Earlier this year it was reported that Disney paid a huge sum of money for the rights for Hamilton, and that the company planned to release the film version in 2021. However, this latest announcement reveals that plans have changed and that we can expect to see the film within a matter of months.

Quarantine restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic have meant many people have been unable to attend theatrical Hamilton performances. This led to John Krasinski bringing together the Hamilton cast for a video call to recreate a number from the show online.
