It was similar to the events in New Zealand on Friday, March 15th 2019, where a gunman shot a mass of people who were praying at the mosque. The decision to withdraw Hotel Mumbai from the cinema was taken by distributor Icon Films. It was inseparable from the reluctance of some cinemas to play their films last weekend. Boss Icon Films, reported by Ace Showbiz, decided to withdraw it until March 28.

"After hearing about last Friday's attack, Icon Films Distribution immediately postponed all promotions for the movie Mumbai Hotel in New Zealand. After consulting with local cinema partners, we decided to stop the film's release as a tribute to the grieving country" said an official statement Films Icon Distribution.
