Where Will Ariana Grande’s Brighter Days Ahead Be Shown in Theaters?
This short film will accompany the deluxe edition of her album Eternal Eunshine
Ariana Grande just surprised fans with an exciting announcement! Through her Instagram Stories, she posted a “breaking news” update from a fictional newspaper called The Sunshine Spotlight. So, what’s the news? She’s releasing a short film titled Brighter Days Ahead, which will accompany the deluxe edition of her album Eternal Eunshine. And yes—it will be shown in select movie theaters.
The announcement included a link to a sign-up page where fans can register to receive updates on how to attend a screening. However, the site—run by Universal Music Group—clarifies that signing up doesn’t guarantee entry.
The official poster reveals that Brighter Days Ahead is written and directed by Christian Breslauer and Ariana Grande, and produced by London Alley and The Lucky Bastards Inc., in collaboration with Republic Records and the artist herself. The short film will feature music from the upcoming eternal sunshine (deluxe).
