OoopsA California audience settling into a movie theatre to watch the family-friendly hit Finding Dory got quite a shock when an expletive-laden trailer for another animated movie, Sausage Party, turned up onscreen.
The incident earlier this month at Brenden Theatre in Concord prompted an apology from the cinema chain.
"Playing that trailer was a one-time honest mistake by a theatre manager moving screens around in an effort to accommodate several large, last-minute groups wanting to see Dory," Walter Eichinger, vice-president of operations for Brenden Theatres, said in a statement to U.S. media.
"In the rush, one hard-working manager clicked the wrong movie. It was caught soon, but not until that trailer was played. We regret it, apologize for it and we are not happy that it happened. We fully realize that this trailer is not appropriate for Dory and we would never schedule something like that."

Yeah, I had to go see this trailer for myself now. And yeah, that was probably a mistake to show that trailer at a Finding Dory showing;

The title sounds like a "Fritz the Cat" style effort!
