If thereโs been any theatre cancellations or an inability to enter a region, we want you to know that weโve been trying our best. Thereโs ratings compliance, security policy and legal rules specific to EACH country and theatre chains that we are trying to navigate around the clock.
Some regions are straight up rejecting our distribution because there are censorship laws and we refuse to change the original vision of this show. In other regions, there are laws that say we canโt due to how close it is to its streaming release. Any cancellations or refusals have been due to security concerns. For example, one distributor wanted us to email them the raw video file so they could then mail it to ratings agencies by post. This is how leaks happen and we take this very seriously.ย
This however, does not mean we arenโt still trying relentlessly to enter these regions. We also want this finale to be accessible in as many countries as possible. Thank you all for helping the TADC finale get this far.
I understand Glitch's concerns, but...
Isn't it too harsh to unilaterally notify a company that has already invested a lot of capital in public relations, contact, and distribution issues of cancellation as an ominous possibility?
โThe Amazing Digital Circus: Last Actโ Korean theatrical release has reportedly been canceled after Korean distributor SBM&E claims Glitch Productions abruptly terminated the contract mid-process.
Fans are now demanding answers from Glitch, while legal action has been filed in Seoul to reverse the cancellation.
The distributor in Korea said that when they signed the contract with Glitch, they explained the procedure repeatedly. Glitch agreed with this. Did they sign the contract without checking it properly? Are you kidding.
