Universal Pictures has canceled the planned September release of its controversial social satire"The Hunt," in the wake of recent mass shootings and amid criticism from President Donald Trump.
In a statement Saturday, Universal said it had decided to take the further step of canceling the film's Sept. 27 release, saying"We understand that now is not the right time to release this film." Trump criticized the planned movie on Twitter Friday, without mentioning its name, saying it was intended"to inflame and cause chaos."
Asked if the decision to scrap the release had been impacted by Trump's comments, a person familiar with the decision process, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations, said the cancellation had been under discussion by the studio and filmmaking team well before the comments were made.
