Warner Entertainment Japan Inc. official Satoru Otani said theaters would stop showing the film, which had been expected to air through the month, because the images were "not appropriate" after the disaster.

"Hereafter," which stars Matt Damon, opened in Japan last month in about 180 theaters, the AP said.
