'Kingsman' New York premiere cancelled due to Hurricane Harvey

Fox has cancelled the New York premiere for the spy sequel "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" in light of Hurricane Harvey.
The studio said it does not want to detract attention from a multi-network telethon slated for the same night, September 12, to raise funds for Hurricane Harvey victims, The Hollywood Reporter said.
"Given the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey and the important fund-raising efforts happening on September 12, we have canceled that evening's planned New York film premiere event for Kingsman: The Golden Circle," a Twentieth Century Fox Film spokesperson said.
"To that end, Twentieth Century Fox Film will be donating the money budgeted for the premiere to several of the non- profit groups associated with the telethon."

The film, a follow-up to 2014's hit "Kingsman: The Secret Service", is still scheduled to have its global premiere later this month in London.
Meanwhile, the Hurricane Harvey telethon is set to broadcast across ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and CMT on September 12 and will feature stars such as George Clooney, Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand and Reese Witherspoon.
"Kingsman: The Golden Circle" opens in theaters on September 22.
