The Lost City and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 are among the latest set of movies to be pulled from release in Russia as Hollywood cracks down amid the invasion of Ukraine.
Warner Bros, Sony Pictures, The Walt Disney Company and Paramount Pictures moved to scrap their upcoming movie releases as Russian military forces continued their attacks in the country.
Violence continues to rage across the region, with thousands of citizens forced to flee their homes across the country’s borders. A Russian military strike hit the centre of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, on Tuesday.
Paramount Pictures has since announced that the highly-anticipated action comedy The Lost City, starring Channing Tatum, Sandra Bullock and Daniel Radcliffe, would not be shown in Russia.
Similarly, they have paused the release of Sonic The Hedgehog 2, featuring the voices of Jim Carrey and Sandra Bullock.
The film studio said: ‘As we witness the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine, we have decided to pause the theatrical release of our upcoming films in Russia, including The Lost City, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
