Seemingly not in Canada. Saw a preview for it this past Sunday (Sept. 8).

Surviving the Game Its been done. The Purge is hardly different either.

I wouldve liked to see that movie it is what it is!

That’s pity on how they used the real for mass shooting it’s a damn movie. Release it Emma Roberts is talented.

Looks good I would watch it

Canceling a movie won’t stop mass shootings, we need to get to the real root of the problem. This isn’t the problem.

I read this as UniversalPics has been cancelled. TheHunt and Liked the tweet.

They shouldn't give in to outrage, it will never end

Thank God.

I don’t see how that movie is anything related to mass shootings. It’s basically Then There Were None. Give me a break. We gonna just cancel every movie that has a gun next? Any movie that features rape? Any movie a person is shot in Chicago?

aw shit here we go again
