A24 Dates Three For Summer: ‘You Hurt My Feelings’, ‘Past Lives’ & ‘Talk To Me’

Two decades later, they are reunited in New York for one fateful week as they confront notions of destiny, love, and the choices that make a life, in this heartrending modern romance. The title will get a limited release on June 2 and platform from there.

Going wide on July 28, is Australian horror title Talk to Me from Danny & Michael Philippou. The movie in its midnight premiere at Sundance spurred a bidding war with Universal and others before A24 won out. Logline: When a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces. The only other wide release on July 28 is Disney’s The Haunted Mansion. Reportedly Steven Spielberg to Jordan Peele loved it and the Philippous vlog about it:
