The show will not go on -- at least, not this week.

As the nation mourns the 20 young children and seven adults who were killed in the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook elementary school tragedy in Newtown, Conn., the Weinstein Company has decided to postpone the L.A. premiere and after-party for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, starring Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio**.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and in this time of national mourning we have decided to forgo our scheduled event," a TWC spokesperson said in a statement. "However, we will be holding a private screening for the cast and crew and their friends and families."

The announcement comes just hours after Paramount Pictures postponed Tom Cruise**'s Tuesday Jack Reacher premiere in Pennsylvania. (A Lincoln Center fundraiser with the actor in New York was also rescheduled for a later date.)

"Due to the terrible tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and out of honor and respect for the families of the victims whose lives were senselessly taken, we are postponing tomorrow's Pittsburgh premiere of Jack Reacher," the studio told Us Weekly in a statement. "Our hearts go out to all those who lost loved ones."

I am hobbled almost daily by how completely ignorant, cruel and honestly, effing STUPID some of the posters are on here. Did I actually just read that someone posted **** those kids? That, ppl, is why the world is so messed up. Django is a very violent movie with quite a bit of cruelty, death and hate in it. I commend them for giving the HUMANS that reside in this country time to mourn. Grow the hell up or stfu! You choose. (I am NOT SUGGESTING IT IS A BAD MOVIE. Just not the kind of thematics we need right now.)

People are so focused on the Conneticut tragedy, so the only reason they are postponing their opening night is because they will lose A lot of money. Everyone is so consumed over this and won't see past this for atleast A Few weeks. PAy your respects and move on.

It's good Hollywood is showing respect for the victims and their families, because right now we need to remember the children, not focus on things that don't matter....like movies and celebs!

WE NEED 2 STOP CANCELLING EVENTS. THIS IS WHY THEY KILL ON A MASSIVE SCALE. IT DOESNT MATTER THAT THEY WONT SEE THEIR PRESS COVERAGE. THEY JUST PUT THEMSELVES IN THE LAST GUYs COVERAGE.
