The studio didn't provide a reason for why they opted to drop the film so close to opening day.

The film's official site and trailer still bear the Paramount logo. The studio's publicity site still had assets for the movie available as of today, March 11.

Mark Osborne directed the movie, which is based on the classic tale published in 1943. The Little Prince's voice cast includes Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Marion Cotillard and Benicio Del Toro. (March 11, 2016/Jim Vejvoda)
