Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born will premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The festival will screen the highly-anticipated remake of the 1937 film on Friday, August 31 ahead of its global release in October.
The decision was made after the first screening of the film, which took place at the Dolby Screening Room at Hollywood and Vine this week, was met with overwhelmingly positive response from the audience.

"Reaction from top exhibs was through the roof," Deadline reports. "One major theater owner predicted Oscar nominations across the board including Picture, Director, Actor and Actress, and big box office. Another from a large chain said the film was 'fantastic' and noted the sound in the concert scenes made you feel as if you were actually there live."
A Star Is Born is due out in theatres on October 5th, 2018.
