$TWX
Warner Bros, a unit of Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) said in a statement: “Rather than yield to terror, we have decided to join the film’s fans and move forward with the premiere.”
Warner Bros. is moving forward with its London Premiere Tuesday of ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ but has canceled the Red Carpet in light of the Brussels terror attacks that killed 34.
The studio said, “Our hearts go out to the victims of recent terrorist attacks, their families and the communities impacted around the world. Rather than yield to terror, we’ve decided to join the film’s fans and move forward with the London premiere of Batman v. Superman this evening.”
Despite the heightened alert in Europe following the twin bombings in Belgium at the Brussels airport and at a Metro station, the crowds were not deterred from London’s cinema center at Leicester Square, which began to pack in early afternoon.
An on site security guard said that the premiere would be “bigger than Star Wars,” where he also worked, a big security turnout is “always the case” for such events in London and had nothing to do with the terror attacks.
Batman v. Superman opens around the globe this weekend, including China.
It begins rolling out in some European markets Wednesday, including France and Belgium.
Many cinemas in Brussels are closed Tuesday in light of the terrorist attacks, it is unclear when they will reopen.
