‘The Hunt’ Is Canceled By Studio

Universal Pictures has canceled the release of its upcoming thriller “The Hunt,” Variety reports.

The film was previously set to hit theaters Sept. 27.

“Previously, Universal put a temporary halt on marketing for the film following a series of mass shootings. In the film’s few marketing materials that did air, stars such as Betty Gilpin and Ike Barinholtz could be seen brandishing assault rifles and pistols while taking on a group of would-be hunters.”
