I'd heard the idea was that they were thinking of using the money on something that would be more appealing to guests. I'm guessing this new theatre didn't get as much interest as other announcements made.

Of course, the other thought is that Disney just wants to save some money. It's not like Magic Kingdom needs to attract more people - although a large theatre would've swallowed up large numbers of guests and might have helped with the crowds.

Assuming it has been cancelled, I suspect we'll never know the real reason. It'll all be rumour and conjecture. It is surprising though considering they officially announced it and even started work on it.
