If you were planning to get your North Korea parody fix from a theater screening of Team America: World Police in lieu of Sony's now-pulled The Interview, it's time for Plan C. Paramount Pictures reportedly told theaters that were planning on protesting the Interview decision by showing Team America not to do so, though NPR's request for info from Paramount received a "no comment" from a studio rep.

"What a crazy week! Sorry folks no Team America" tweeted the co-founder of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Texas; Cleveland's Capitol Theater and Atlanta's Plaza Atlanta also indicated the movie had been nixed, the Daily Beast reports.
