SECHELT, B.C. — Owners of a small-town theatre on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast have thrown a kink into the plans of movie goers bent on seeing Fifty Shades of Grey.<\/p>\n

Deborah Proby of the Raven’s Cry Theatre in Sechelt, B.C., says in an email she won’t show the film.<\/p>\n

The black-and-white decision that’s receiving coverage in B.C. media outlets appears to be tied to the movie’s 18A rating, which Proby says would have forced her to sell tickets to minors.<\/p>\n

She says adults can still find many other ways to see the movie, just not at her theatre.<\/p>\n

Proby says she doesn’t wish to “save the world,” and did not intend to trigger a reaction.<\/p>\n

The move, which opens in theatres on Friday, is an adaptation of the E L James book about a college student and her torrid affair with a 27-year-old billionaire with a penchant for bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
