No it says canceled! Words mean things.
***************************************
Yes, words do indeed mean things. See the following words extracted from the article.

“We stand by our filmmakers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold and visionary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller, but we understand that now is not the right time to release this film.”

The only thing “cancelled” was the currently planned release dates. The movie itself was not “cancelled” and will likely be release in the future. If I was wealthy I’d buy it and release it in broad distribution in the month before the 2020 election. I’d also simultaneously release it to all the streaming services as well as simultaneously releasing and promoting DVDs and Blu-rays.

I thought even though the movie was about hunting ‘deplorables’, the ‘deplorables’ win. Seems a rather motivating movie to me.

Not true. The female protagonist apparently was one of the hunted, but during the movie it is pretty apparent she has pretty leftist views.

Plus, the movie trailer focused on the girl vs. girl stuff which is pretty SJW too.

It was a very bad idea that reinforces the view that the Left really hates the Right and would in fact use government and other powers to kill normal Americans.

Bad idea from an industry that continues to tow the lib line.

So in the end we Deplorables would not have liked the movie, you are saying.

I believe you and I was never going to see it anyway.

NO ONE has less of a pulse on what the people want than hollywood.

NO ONE. They live in their own little tiny narrow minded world.

Yes, the Deplorable is fighting back after some of her loved ones were killed, there’s one scene where she takes a license plate off revealing that the underlying plate was in a foreign country. Even if it is a movie about revenge against nasty elites, the underlying premise is really uncomfortable for all powers that be. The Elite honeydew ants don’t want anything to happen to their system of tapping us everyday aphids for their daily “sugarly sap”. The movie is accidentally 2nd amendment...the general populace, able to be armed forms the ultimate deterrent against elite and governmental over reach. The elites don’t want their schemes exposed and they don’t want armed deplorables coming after them when things go south.

“Looks like postponed, not canceled. They are just a little too early on the power curve to fully show what they believe.”

I think it should be released asap. Regardless of who wins in the end it will energize we Deplorable’s. Actually, maybe about a month before the election would be better.

All you bittorrent fans keep an eye out for this one. It’s finished and someone will leak it.

Hollywood will be spinning it as the “Hunger Games” for radical left.

It’s got everything minus the acting, coherent script, directing and characters so wooden you can make canoe out of it.

Like the movie “Get Out” but with an uber evil twist....

Note that they managed to whitewash this propaganda film’s principal goal of inciting violence by playing the El Paso and Dayton cards...

I’m wondering if this wasn’t really a pro-Trump movie in disguise.
