The screening of the live-action movie of Disney fairytale "Beauty and the Beast" in Malaysia has been postponed.

The movie, which was initially due to open this Thursday, was postponed due to an “internal review”, film distributor The Walt Disney Co (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd said in an email.

“The movie release date has been postponed and we are reviewing its new release date internally,” a Walt Disney Malaysia spokesperson confirmed to Malaysiakini.
