From her starring role in the legacy sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to turning Wednesday Addams into the role she was born to play on Netflix, Jenna Ortega has had an impressive rise to stardom in her first few years on-screen. However, as is the case with most young actors learning their trade, she has also been part of some disappointing projects. In 2025, both of Ortega’s big-screen releases were frustrating let-downs, although the wasted potential of the underwhelming horror fantasy flick Death of a Unicorn looks like a stroke of genius compared to her other flop, Hurry Up Tomorrow.

Starring Ortega alongside Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, Hurry Up Tomorrow promised to be a mind-bending thriller following “a musician plagued by insomnia is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence.” Instead, fans received one of the worst movies of the year, with critics awarding the film a dismal 14% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, hilariously writing, “On second thought, let’s fast-forward to the workweek.” In Jeff Ewing‘s review of the movie for Collider, he wrote, “Characters aren’t given sufficient depth, story beats are repetitive (we get it, you’re stressed walking out to perform), and it’s too late by the time it gets going in the final act.”

Despite all of this, Hurry Up Tomorrow has found itself some streaming success this February, becoming one of the ten most-streamed movies on Starz in the U.S. In fact, at the time of writing, the film is the second-most-streamed title behind Nnamdi Asomugha‘s 2025 drama,The Knife. Directed by Trey Edward Shults (It Comes at Night), Hurry Up Tomorrow is the lowest-scoring project across film and TV in Ortega’s career to date, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

Could ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Find Box Office Success?

Hurry Up Tomorrow wasn’t just one of the worst-reviewed movies of 2025; it was also one of the biggest box office flops of the year. Against a reported production budget of $15 million, the film returned just $7.7 million worldwide. In U.S. theaters, the movie opened in over 2,000 locations in a highly underwhelming first weekend. So bad was this opening that, in just two weeks, the movie had been dropped from almost every location, finally playing in 124 theaters before data stopped being produced by its fourth weekend.
