Wildfires Cause Cancellations at Los Angeles Premiere
Multiple Los Angeles premieres have been canceled due to the ongoing wildfires and extreme weather conditions in Southern California. Studios, networks, and organizations are prioritizing safety, leading to the postponement of movie premieres, screenings, and celebrity events. Amazon MGM Studios and Universal Studios were among the first to announce the cancellation of their premieres on Tuesday evening. The biographical wrestling drama Unstoppable, starring Jharrel Jerome, Jennifer Lopez, and others, was set for a red-carpet event in West Hollywood but was called off due to dangerous fire conditions. Viewers can catch Unstoppable on Prime Video starting January 16. Wolf Man, a horror film by Universal Studios, starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, also had its premiere canceled for the same reason. Paramount, Max, and HBO Max followed suit, calling off premieres of Better Man, The Pitt, and The Pitt, respectively, due to safety concerns amidst the wildfires.
Netflix, Roadside Attractions, and other organizations postponed their events as well. The ongoing tragedies caused by the wildfires have prompted these cancellations and postponements to ensure the safety of attendees, staff, and all involved. President Biden even altered his travel plans in response to the dangerous weather conditions in the region. Amidst the chaos, the focus remains on ensuring the safety of everyone affected, with gratitude being expressed for the bravery of first responders working tirelessly to protect lives and property. Stay safe, Los Angeles.
