Story out of Concord, California:
A California audience settling into a movie theatre to watch the family-friendly hit Finding Dory got quite a shock when an expletive-laden trailer for another animated movie, Sausage Party, turned up onscreen.
The incident earlier this month at Brenden Theatre in Concord prompted an apology from the cinema chain.
"Playing that trailer was a one-time honest mistake by a theatre manager moving screens around in an effort to accommodate several large, last-minute groups wanting to see Dory," Walter Eichinger, vice-president of operations for Brenden Theatres, said in a statement to U.S. media.
"In the rush, one hard-working manager clicked the wrong movie. It was caught soon, but not until that trailer was played. We regret it, apologize for it and we are not happy that it happened. We fully realize that this trailer is not appropriate for Dory and we would never schedule something like that."
Sausage Party, slated for release in late summer and billed as "the first R-rated CG animated movie," follows a sausage that discovers the horror of what happens to groceries after they leave the supermarket. Cont.
