Warner Brothers has pulled TheBatman from release in Russia.
✖ Minutes after Disney announced it's temporarily pausing the distribution of its movies to Russia, Warner Brothers is doing the same. Late Monday night, Warners announced it's pulling The Batman from Russian cinemas indefinitely due to the country's invasion of Ukraine.
As of Monday morning, Warner Brothers had yet to make a call as to whether it would continue with its plans to release the blockbuster in Russia this weekend. Regardless, it looks like Disney's choice to postpone its entire slate in the country may have been a motivating factor. As it stands now, Disney is pausing the release of movies from any of its studios in Russia, including Pixar's Turning Red, which was due out in the country next week.
The Ukrainian Film Academy has been petitioning those in the industry to boycott Russian cinema since the country first invaded Ukraine earlier this month.
