that he hoped the film would start reappearing on Vue screens from as soon as Thursday night and that it would be fully reinstated over the weekend, with new beefed-up but low-profile security measures in place.
The cinema chain withdrew the film, which tells the story of two friends caught up in a London gang war, after the brawl in Birmingham, England, and what the company said were numerous other “The withdrawal provoked a fierce backlash, on social media and elsewhere, and has been headline news in the U.K. this week.
Richards said the majority of the incidents at its theaters happened before the Birmingham brawl and that Vue has CCTV footage showing that the Birmingham violence started within a screening of the movie before spilling outside. “We have CCTV in all of [the] screens in all of our complexes and I can say definitively that the fight started in the movie,” Richards said. “It absolutely started there. It was actually inside the auditorium itself.
“We spoke to producers, and to Paramount, and then I personally to a lot of the the leaders of a lot of the groups concerned about our actions,” Richards said. “I explained what happened and why we felt we had to do what we did and they were very helpful and understanding,” Richards said. “We then sat down with our operational team and came up with a gameplan to put the movie back on our screens.
Why have you branded this a ‘gang film’. That’s not a thing. It’s a film.
Put this movie on a plateform like netflix or hulu and stop that stupid marketing
If you can’t relate to something, bruv..I beg you don’t chat please. Try to be open minded and understand or just sit there and shut up. Basics
you didn’t need to say it is a gang film it’s just a film thanks x
Gang film ?
A brawl that had absolutely nothing to do with the movie.
We don’t care.
Gang film? This tweet is just as ignorant
'gang film' 🙄. It's a film like every other film
Alyaalsultani Good...I hope everyone still boycotts the FUCK out of Vue though.
“Gang film”
Lol what a title...its a lot more than that, that's just one facet of it...
Yh that’s what I thought
Why do they call it a ‘gang’ movie sending bad connotations to the movie. The movie is there for the youngers to see this life aint worth it. It doesnt glorify the gang culture one bit. Big up RealRapman coming all this way changing the world!
Rightly so!
