Disney will halt theatrical release in Russia

Hollywood studio Disney has decided to halt its theatrical release in Russia following the country’s military operation in Ukraine. A company spokesperson shared the update via statement. “In view of Ukraine’s unprovoked invasion and tragic humanitarian crisis, we are suspending the release of theatrical films in Russia,” the statement said.

Disney will also halt the release of “Turning Red” from Pixar, which was earlier scheduled to premiere in the country on March 10, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The spokesperson said, “We will make future business decisions based on the evolving situation. In the meantime, given the scale of the emerging refugee crisis, we are working with our NGO partners to provide immediate assistance and other humanitarian assistance to refugees.” Huh.”

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in Ukraine and warned other countries that “they will never see the consequences” of any attempt to interfere with Russian action.
