** The title itself. "2U" initially seems like a gimmicky way of saying "to you", as in "Happy Birthday To You", but since the movie deals with an alternate timeline, part of it takes place in a parallel universe, meaning it can also mean "Two Universes" or "Second Universe".

After freeing herself from her birthday death loop, Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) is ready to get her life back to normal now that she’s with Carter (Israel Broussard). However, a school science experiment gone wrong sends Tree back to Monday the 18th with a new killer on the loose, forcing her to once again relive her birthday, but with a few differences.
