I& #39;m not going to castigate a bunch of 13 year olds for fighting. It goes without saying and quite frankly the police will deal with that
What I am more interested in is the fact that @vuecinemas think banning a film at every venue across Britain is a proportionate response.

The creators don& #39;t deserve that, and it& #39;s a major setback to the opening weekend Box Office numbers.
Blue Story is black art, and once again black content creators pay the price for the actions of others. This is institutional racism in practice.

Hi @vuecinemas there was an altercation in Cheshire last month, but you didn& #39;t cancel all nation-wide screenings of Joker. Please let us know why. I& #39;m sure the background of the content creators has nothing to do with it x https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10085654/joker-cinema-screening-halted-police-man-threatening-bang-out-fan/">https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1008...
It appears there was a similar brawl in Hull, but this didn& #39;t seem to affect nationwide screening of any films at the time.
I& #39;d be very interested to know what rationale was applied here. I& #39;m hoping the suppression of Black British art istj a factor x https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/familys-shock-mass-brawl-suddenly-2375364">https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull...

Violence with a weapon involved in Cardiff (inside the @vuecinemas venue) yet no indication of any nation-wide cancellations of any films out at the time https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/cineworld-cardiff-news-violence-gangs-15931438">https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wale...
Hey @vuecinemas. Violence by similarly-aged teens in Portsmouth yet screenings of Bohemian Rhapsody were not cancelled nationwide.
That movie appears to be very much a production with predominantly white involvement, but I& #39;m sure this isn& #39;t relevant x https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7609456/portsmouth-gunwharf-quays-cimena-assault-police-appeal/">https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7609...

@Vitality_UK you have a strategic partnership with a clearly institutionally racist company. As a healthcare provider to a number of black patients this may be something you& #39;d like to have a conversation with them about.
This is deeper than simply boycotting @vuecinemas. When black creators approach production companies to fund their films, they need to demonstrate previous success of other black films. Opening weekend figures are the most important factor. Vue has torpedoed Blue Story& #39;s opening.
Banning the film in Birmingham (where the violence occured) was not sufficient. Neither was banning it in other major cities.
@vuecinemas banned @BlueStoryMovie nation-wide in order to prevent audiences in towns where they are the ONLY option from contributing to the Box Office

This is the type of insidious racism we have to deal with in Britain. @vuecinemas actions are fundamentally racist, and as an employer of black staff across the country, this is disgusting, considering the pay lip service they pay to diversity during their recruitment process.
Black actors are prevented from displaying their full range and potential by their drama school teachers.
Production companies make Black pitchers jump through hoops to get a meeting.
Thanks @vuecinemas for also showing us their premeditated agenda to suppress black art.
