André Øvredal’s adaptation of this chapter, “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” … was set to arrive in U.K. theaters this week until it quietly disappeared from the release slate. UK cinema chain Cineworld confirmed that the film’s release has been “delayed indefinitely.” The movie released last week in the United States and had a dismal opening weekend, but its UK delay isn’t solely down to a poor box office forecast. According to a July 20 report by Deadline, UK distributor eOne is completely shuttering its UK theatrical operations. Days later, parent company Hasbro announced that eOne is being sold to Lionsgate for $500 million, with the deal expected to close by the end of the year.

    I’d heard they were having problems and the poor reviews have probably made other distributors unenthusiastic.
