Universal’s comedy from Pete Davidson and director Judd Apatow “The King of Staten Island” is skipping its summer theatrical release and going straight to digital on June 12, Universal announced Monday.
The comedy was meant to open in theaters on June 19 and was even meant to debut at the SXSW Film Festival.
Davidson wrote “The King of Staten Island” with Apatow and former “SNL” writer Dave Sirus. It’s described as a bracing comedy about love, loss and laughter on Staten Island and stars “Euphoria” actress Maude Apatow, Marisa Tomei, Ricky Velez, Moises Arias, Lou Wilson, Bill Burr, Pamela Adlon, Bel Powley and Steve Buscemi alongside Davidson.
