Two major movie premieres in London have been cancelled "out of respect" for the victims of the Manchester attack.
Tom Cruise's monster movie The Mummy and Gal Gadot's highly anticipated Wonder Woman will not go ahead with their scheduled UK premiere.
Universal Studios said: "All of us at Universal have been devastated by the terror attack in Manchester and continue to stand with the community and country as it recovers.
"Out of respect to those affected by this tragedy we have decided not to move forward with the London premiere for The Mummy scheduled to take place next week."
The Mummy's premiere was due to take place on 1 June, one day after Warner Bros had planned to open Wonder Woman.
"Our thoughts are with those affected by the recent tragedy in the UK," Warner Bros said in a statement.
"In light of the current situation, we will not be proceeding with our plans for the Wonder Woman premiere and junket activities in London."
It comes as several concerts and events were cancelled or postponed across the country.

Take That postponed their Liverpool show this week, but organisers of the Parklife Festival in Manchester, scheduled for mid-June and headlined by Frank Ocean and The 1975, confirmed it would "go ahead as planned".
"Our thoughts are with those affected as well as the emergency services working tirelessly to keep us safe in all that we do," they said.
The suicide bombing, which left 22 dead and many injured, took place moments after Ariana Grande's concert at the Manchester Arena on Monday.
Grande has since cancelled her European tour up until 5 June.
