Sony Pictures has preponed the release of Quentin Tarantino "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". The film, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie in the lead, is based on the murder of actor Sharon Tate and three others at the hands of the Manson family cult.

It was earlier scheduled to open on August 19 next year, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the murders. However, to avoid any possibility of a controversy, the makers have moved up the release date by two weeks to July 26, 2019, reported Variety.
