ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — Movie theaters in Algeria have been ordered to stop showing the “Barbie” movie, almost a month after it’s been shown there. Online news outlet 24H says Algeria’s Ministry of Culture and Arts notified theaters to pull the movie immediately, without giving a reason. Authorities in Kuwait and Lebanon have banned “Barbie,” saying it goes against their values.
