Disney will delay the release of its films in Russian movie theaters in response to Moscow’s “unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and the tragic humanitarian crisis” accompanying it
Disney/Pixar
Warner Bros. said late Monday that it would pause the Russian release of “The Batman,” which was scheduled for later this week and is expected to be among the year's top-grossing movies. Russian theater chains were heavily marketing it earlier Monday. Russia’s market represents a tiny sliver of Disney’s business and a small fraction of world-wide cinematic box office receipts: in 2021—which was disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic—films grossed around $340 million in the country. In the U.S., by contrast, total box office receipts were about $4.5 billion last year.
Other corners of the American entertainment industry have cut ties with Russia since the invasion. The rock band Green Day canceled a concert scheduled for the end of May in Moscow, and the venue development and investment firm Oak View Group said it was severing all connections to Russia, even down to the Russian alcohol it served in its buildings.
