You wanted to tell the North Koreans you stand up for free speech by going to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema showing of Team America: World Police in place of The Interview to to the showing at Cleveland’s Capitol Theater. Sorry to say you will now need to do that as a house party on Blu-ray.
The Austin-based chain says that Paramount has now decided not to offer Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s 2004 satire which even kills oKim Jong-il, the late father of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Alamo tweeted that the cancellation at its Dallas theater is “due to circumstances beyond our control” and says it will offer refunds to those who have already bought tickets. Cleveland’s Capitol Theater also tweeted that Team America “has been canceled by Paramount Pictures.”
Due to to circumstances beyond our control, the TEAM AMERICA 12/27 screening has been cancelled. We apologize & will provide refunds today.
