Robles and his mom Judy Robles were attending, too. “In light of today’s safety concerns around heightened wind activity and fire outbreaks in Los Angeles, we regret to inform you that we are cancelling tonight’s premiere of ‘Unstoppable,'” the studio said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. “As much as we were looking forward to celebrating this wonderful and inspiring film with you, safety is our first priority.

We encourage everyone to watch ‘Unstoppable’ on Prime Video, which will be available globally on January 16. Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe.” Homes in the foothills of the Palisades were given evacuation orders on Tuesday morning as the fire consumed more than 200 acres of dry bush.
