According to widespread local media reports, Deadpool, which was produced by 20th Century Fox and based on the Marvel comic book character, has been denied permission to screen in China due to its violence, nudity and graphic language.
A source close to the decision at China Film Group tells THR that the reports are indeed accurate.

That’s the best review the movie could’ve ever gotten, that should be in the trailers

China’s a big market outside of the US, so I don’t really like this news. Even if Deadpool is great, if it falls flat at the box office studios aren’t going to see the interest in making more Rated R comic book films. I hope something gets worked out.

China has a quota and only shows 24 foreign films per year and they have strict criteria for allowing them. (Look at the nonsense of the last Transformers film).
Yes it’s big, but only for the tiny amount of films that actually make it there, Deadpool won’t succeed or fail, based on it

Looks like we (Americans) and the rest of the world will just have to step up and make sure we’re picking up the slack!

I’ve been saying this from the beginning. They should do a pg13 version of the film as well with beeps and censor bars! Just like the comics. It would be hilarious!
