“We hesitated [over pulling] Bastille Day ,” Jocelyn Bouyssy, the director of CGR, told the Trade. “We decided to keep it because we haven’t received any complaints.
“The film’s narrative is very different from the attack that happened in Nice, and we’re showing many films with violence of all kinds. If we start pulling violent movies because they show this or that we’re basically giving in. We must be strong and keep on living.”
Bastille Day, directed by James Watkins and starring Game of Thrones ’ Michael Mason, was released on the 22 April 2016 and has grossed $9.8 million.
