KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — A24’s psychological thriller Primetime has been banned in Malaysia by the Film Censorship Board (Lembaga Penapis Filem, or LPF), local distributor Antenna Entertainment announced today.
In a statement posted on X, Antenna expressed regret to local moviegoers, confirming that the film “will not be released in Malaysia.”
“Unfortunately, the film has been BANNED by Lembaga Penapis Filem (LPF),” the distributor said in its post.
“We sincerely apologise for any disappointment and thank everyone for your support and interest in PRIMETIME.”
Leading cinema chain Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) separately confirmed the cancellation on X, notifying patrons that the title would no longer see a Malaysian release, though the exhibitor’s post did not explicitly reference the censorship ban.
