Disney , Warner Bros and Sony have announced that they will not be showing their films in Russian theaters in the future. It was in the aftermath of what they called the unwarranted invasion of Ukraine.
Walt Disney announced the decision on Monday, and said it would stop future movie releases in Russia in reaction to the ongoing military operation.
"In light of the unwarranted invasion of Ukraine and the tragic humanitarian crisis, we are halting theatrical releases in Russia , including Pixar's upcoming Turning Red," the company wrote in a statement.
Disney also noted that it will work with partnering NGOs to provide urgent aid and other humanitarian assistance to refugees.
Warner Bros. then made a similar move in light of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. "We hope for a speedy and peaceful resolution to this tragedy," he added.
Sony is the latest studio to pull its content from the Russian market , with a company spokesperson saying late Monday that like Disney , they will be discontinuing all releases in that country.
