‘Wolverine’ Release Cancelled Because of Swine Flu in Mexico
Mexico is in rough shape right now, because of the Swine Flu outbreak the X-Men Origins: Wolverine premier has been cancelled.
Mexico might normally be expected to contribute several million dollars to the worldwide opening of an event pic such as “Wolverine.” But during the past few days, the country’s top three exhibitors — Cinepolis, Cinemex and Cinemark — have temporarily closed dozens of theaters in the Mexico City area after widespread contagion in schools and elsewhere.
“Theaters are closed, and that’s why we can’t open the film,” Fox co-president of international distribution Tomas Jegeus said. “It’s that simple. But people are more than concerned in Mexico, and it would be stupid and irresponsible to open a film.”
Rough week for Mexico! Hopefully the problems down there will cool off soon so they can enjoy the film too.
