> Workers remove a poster for “The Interview” from a billboard in Hollywood, California, on December 18, 2014, a day after Sony announced it would cancel the movie’s Christmas release and pull it from theaters. The only thing that I'm aware of that was pulled(since I was born) because of similar reasons were movies released around 9/11[1].
