Jailer 2 screening stopped in Canada

The Canadian exhibitor of Jailer 2, York Cinemas, announced in a statement on Instagram that it was halting screenings of the film. "Dear Valued Patrons, We regret to inform you that Jailer 2 will no longer be screening at York Cinemas effective Wednesday, October 21, 2026. This decision is due to circumstances beyond the control of York Cinemas."

Explaining its issue with the distributors and producers of Jailer 2, the exhibitor wrote, "Although York Cinemas has fulfilled all required financial commitments and payments, the valid KDMs (Key Delivery Messages) required to continue screening the film have not been provided by the North American distributors, Shloka Entertainments and Prathyangira Cinemas, following the required authorization from the production company, Sun Pictures."

"Without valid KDMs, we are technically unable to continue screening the film," the exhibitor said, concluding its note by apologising for the inconvenience. "We want our patrons to know that York Cinemas has made every effort to resolve this matter and continue the screenings, but unfortunately, the necessary authorization has not been received."
