No, Glitch did not cancel screenings in Australia, and no, Glitch had never officially announced Korea in the first place. There have been no cases of Glitch pulling out after selling tickets neither

No, they're not pulling out of Aussie

- Hoyts, Events, Village, Angelika, and a number of standalone cinemas in Australia are still airing and selling tickets. (https://www.digitalcircus.movie/australia)

- The 2 standalone cinemas that announced "cancellations", in the first place announced the movie's release without getting any confirmation nor response from Glitch in the first place

- Victa Cinema in Victor Harbour, SA had previously posted that they were airing the movie but after I commented on it complaining about why they announced it prematurely, they deleted it

- Glitch is not pulling out from Australia entirely, as what's seemingly done to Korea.

No, they did not sell tickets in Korea AND THEN pull out

- A company named SBMNE did announce distribution for the movie in Korea, around 2 weeks back.

- However, Glitch had NEVER publicly announced its release in Korea, despite having posted about new countries in Southeast Asia after SBMNE's announcement, which didn't include Korea in the first place

- Nor did Glitch and SBMNE sell tickets for TADC: The Last Act, then Glitch pulled out

- A peculiar thing to note is that while Encore Films, the distributor for TADC in Southeast Asia, had TADC: TLA posters emblazoned with their logo and social media tags for 6 SEA countries it'd be premiering in, the same wasn't done for Korea, which makes me wonder if Glitch actually gave SBMNE the greenlight to announce the movie for release

- However, considering SBMNE did post a trailer with subtitles and their name on it, and the CEO of SBMNE had mentioned signing a contract and is now considering legal action, it is possible they were in active communication with Glitch and that Glitch just pulled out

However, here's what's happening

- Glitch hasn't been replying to a lot of theatres and distributors interested in premiering the film, including distributors in Turkiye

- Cinemas in the Middle East have officially posted they are unable to air the movie due to restrictions

- Another cinema chain in Australia has been replying that they couldn't get the movie because it's not available for bookings, though this doesn't affect screenings for the existing cinemas on Glich's websire

- There have been exclusivity deals for the movie, seemingly in South America, although I doubt the same is happening in Australia since they are being screened at 2 other indie cinemas (State Cinema, Hobart and Palace Nova, Adelaide)

- Glitch has not announced any official pull-outs

Thought I had some time to clear up the misinformation since I was getting annoyed with people saying that Australia isn't getting the movie and that the fans are getting screwed financially for buying the tickets, which in the first place, aren't available.
