"America! F**k ... no?"
After the Alamo Drafthouse movie theatre in Dallas, Texas promised showings of "Team America: World Police" in response to Sony Pictures' cancelling of "The Interview" release on December 25, Paramount Pictures has now made things even more volatile.
The studio has cancelled any and all showings of "Team America: World Police" in any theatre in response to "The Interview" situation.
Due to to circumstances beyond our control, the TEAM AMERICA 12/27 screening has been cancelled. We apologize & will provide refunds today.
- Alamo Drafthouse DFW (@AlamoDFW) December 18, 2014 The Capitol Theatre and Cleveland, Ohio, and Plaza Atlanta Theater had also planned screenings, which are now cancelled. No Canadian theatres had planned a "Team America: World Police" screening, but Cineplex yesterday issued the following statement:
"Cineplex takes seriously its commitment to the freedom of artistic expression, but we want to reassure our guests and staff that their safety and security is our number one priority. We look forward to a time when this situation is resolved and those responsible are apprehended," Pat Marshall, Cineplex vice president of communications and investor relations, said.
