Variety confirms that Warner Bros. has cancelled the Wonder Woman premiere in London following the deadly bombing in Manchester earlier this week.
It is not hard to understand why the studio would make such a decision.
A major film premiere brings people from all over the world together in a single location, and the safety concerns raised by such an event in the heart of London clearly outweigh the benefits and opportunities for good press.
The United Kingdom finds itself in a state of heightened security after the attack left 22 dead (with quite a few more wounded), and Prime Minister Theresa May has officially raised the country’s terror threat level from “severe” to “critical.”
