MoviePilot.com reports:

‘Cinemas in the cities of Marseille, Strasbourg and Montpellier in France have cancelled future screenings of Annabelle due to a security concern after huge crowds of youths packed theaters well over capacity (up to 1,000 people in a 450-seat theater) and began fighting, throwing popcorn, and ripping up seats.’

The film is based on a doll, Annabelle, possessed by a demon and intent on terrorizing a young family in the suburbs of California.

It is based on the alleged true story of a mother who, in 1970, purchases an Annabelle doll for her daughter’s birthday. The daughter shortly after receiving the doll begins to notice creepy things happening with her roommate.
