OREANDA-NEWS American film studio Warner Bros. canceled the Russian premiere of the movie "Batman" against the background of military operations in Ukraine. The premiere of the blockbuster starring Robert Pattinson was scheduled to take place on March 2. At Warner Bros. They stressed that they are waiting for a peaceful resolution of the conflict and the end of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Some other major film studios also refused to work in the Russian Federation.

The American studio Sony Pictures has suspended the distribution of its films in Russia. In particular, the picture "Morbius" starring Jared Leto will not be released on the screens.

"Given the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine and the uncertainty and humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in this region, we are suspending our planned premieres in Russia, including the upcoming release of Morbius," the company's press service said. Sony Pictures hopes for a quick end to this crisis.

At the beginning of the year, the premiere of Morbius in Russia was moved from January 28 to April 1.

The first film company that refused to cooperate with the Russian Federation was Disney. They explained this by the "unprovoked" invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine and the resulting humanitarian crisis. Thus, the premiere of the animated film "I blush" from Pixar, which was planned on March 10, will not take place.
