Warner Bros. brings Broadway to Hollywood with "In the Heights," a feature-length movie based on the popular Tony Award-winning musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The film premiered on June 10 in theaters and on HBO Max, but you only have until July 11 to stream it at home.
The movie follows a Washington Heights bodega owner, Usnavi, as he "imagines and sings" about a better life, according to the film's official synopsis. "Hamilton" actor Anthony Ramos stars as Usnavi, while Corey Hawkins ("The Walking Dead"), Melissa Barrera ("Vida"), and Olga Merediz (Broadway's "In The Heights") round out the cast.
"In the Heights'' features music by Miranda and is directed by Jon M. Chu, the filmmaker behind "Crazy Rich Asians." The film received critical acclaim and holds a "96% Fresh" rating on review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes.
Aside from "In the Heights," you can find Miranda's 2020 musical film "Hamilton" on Disney Plus. Disney Plus starts at $8 a month, and you can bundle the service with Hulu Basic and ESPN+ for $14 a month.
"In the Heights" debuted in theaters and online via HBO Max's ad-free plan on June 10. The movie's initial run on HBO Max will last through July 11. After that date, the film will be removed from the service while it finishes its run in theaters. It's possible it could be added back to HBO Max later this year.
HBO Max has two plans: a $10 a month ad-supported plan and a $15 a month ad-free plan. You need the $15 a month plan to watch "In the Heights." HBO Max no longer offers a free trial through its website, but new members can get a seven-day trial with the HBO Max add-on for Hulu.
