  Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday was forced to flee his home amid the raging California wildfires — and the premiere of his movie “Terminator: Dark Fate” was cancelled because of the blazes
  The former Golden State governor, 72, announced that he had safely relocated and urged the thousands of people in evacuation zones to follow suit
  “We evacuated safely at 3:30 this morning,” he tweeted. “If you are in an evacuation zone, don’t screw around
 Get out. Right now I am grateful for the best firefighters in the world, the true action heroes who charge into the danger to protect their fellow Californians
”  The “Terminator” star’s ex-wife, Maria Shriver, also tweeted that she was evacuated
  “So grateful to our firefighters putting their lives on the line for all of us. We have evacuated, but we’re safe
 Praying for our neighbors,” she wrote.  News of the evacuations came as Paramount Pictures announced the cancellation of the “Terminator: Dark Fate” premiere, which was to be held at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Monday
  “In light of the ongoing, active fires being battled in the area, Paramount Pictures and Skydance have canceled tonight’s Los Angeles premiere of Terminator: Dark Fate,” Paramount said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter
  “We will be donating food intended for the after-party to the American Red Cross, which is serving those affected by the fires
”  Tim Miller, the director of the “Terminator” sequel, told the outlet that a screening may happen elsewhere for cast, crew and their families who traveled from out of town
  “The red carpet is not the reward for me — the movie is,” said Miller.  “But I feel terrible for everybody else who had their families coming in
 So we’re trying to fix that.”  The latest movie in the action saga, which opens Friday, has been widely panned
  The fires have forced nearly 200,000 people out of their homes.  Among them was basketball superstar LeBron James and his family, who were evacuated when a new blaze erupted along Interstate 405 near the Getty Center in Southern California
