Jenna Ortega's Klara and the Sun is hitting a new low on the big screen.
As reported by Spanish publication Hobby Consolas (per Collider), Sony has elected to scrap Klara and the Sun's international release in Spain. The report states that the decision comes due to Ortega and Waititi's sci-fi film receiving largely negative reviews from critics and having very low commercial expectations in the region, with the studio reportedly hoping to "minimize losses."
