Do you really need a reason?

Yes. Movies usually just don’t get pulled from release for no reason. And this one doesn’t sound like it has a low budget.

It's a movie starring Johnny Depp about the murder of Biggie released by a small studio that was getting dumped in early September.

 

In short, it's bad and the studio is probably ashamed of it.

Well there's that and there's the other factor of Depp having a current lawsuit filed against him by a crew member on the set of this movie. Wasn't too much going for this to begin with, although I'll admit I was slightly curious to see Depps performance in this since it seemed more serious than his usual roles.

I imagine even if that has not necessarily any direct effect (distributor not being involved here in any way with the incident).

 

I could imagine that scenario happened.

 

Distribution contract like most of them had the standard: Producer must reasonably pressure talent (naming Depp specially) to make a reasonable amount of promotion for the movie.

 

Depp said to them he would do none not wanting to be exposed to questions about the incident needing to keep those franchise money coming in, voiding the distribution contract, making Global road happy to have a legal valid excuse to walk away, the movie being bad.

My AMC still hasn’t removed this poster as of yesterday

I wonder what will happen to this. Global Road bankruptcy is the obvious reason the release got canceled. Depp has another movie by Global Road in production...Richard says goodbye.  They are taking it to TIFF  apparently. Wonder who will snatch that.

This got released in Italy apparently. It didn't do bad at all

 

1.4M til now.

 

I think there's potential in the US. True crime is all the rage now

This is pure and utter fantasy. Many stars can't open a film on their name alone anymore aside from a select few (hell, even Tom Cruise).
