Another movie premiere has been canceled in light of Friday's tragic school shooting.

Following the cancelation of Tom Cruise's "Jack Reacher" premiere late Friday night, the Los Angeles premiere of Bette Midler and Billy Crystal's new comedy "Parental Guidance" has been canceled out of respect for the victims and families of the tragic violence in Newtown, Connecticut.
