UPDATE: The studio has acquired North American rights to the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Abigail Breslin zombie film and has pulled it from its Toronto world premiere berth.
Maggie was set to premiere at the festival on September 12, however now the public will have to wait until the early 2015 release.
Neither the film’s North American representatives CAA, Lionsgate itself, international sales agent Lotus Entertainment nor the festival had returned calls at time of writing to explain why the film would no longer premiere in Canada.
However industry insiders said Lionsgate intend to re-cut the film and do not want to present it until it is ready.
