The Hollywood Reporter added that the protest is in response to 20th Century Fox Korea moving the release date up to July 10th instead of July 16th. The last-minute change is going to affect the number of screens that would have been set to show the film, those screens were originally set to show different films.
Moments after the announcement went public local filmmakers and distributors voiced their anger over this date change and the Korea Film Producers Association filed a formal complain about the situation.
The statement reads; "This abrupt change in the release date for such a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster goes against film business ethics. This gives way to not only chaos in the basic order of the film market but also great damage for others."
It ends with asking the studio to cancel this release date change and return to the original date.
A new teaser trailer has been released and features a closer look at Gary Oldman's character, MTV reported.
