Hunt cancels two ‘Twister’ screenings in New York

Helen Hunt has canceled two “Twister” movie screening events in Upstate New York.

The Oscar-winning actress was scheduled to host a screening of the 1996 film about tornados and storm-chasers on Oct. 30 at The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater in Syracuse. She was also scheduled to appear at a similar “Twister” event on Oct. 29 at the Kodak Center in Rochester.

Both events are canceled “due to a scheduling conflict,” according to the promoter.

Alternate dates have not yet been set, so all tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase. It’s unclear if either showing will be rescheduled.
