I have said I think this film is going to have a hard time at the box office!

Well more bad news for Deadpool!

Deadpool Banned in China

It looks like everyone’s favorite “merc with a mouth” won’t be making his way to China this year.

Marvel’s latest superhero film, “’Deadpool,” is one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2016 and has been since the first teaser trailer hit San Diego Comic Con two years ago. Unfortunately for Marvel fans in China, the “Deadpool” movie might not make its way into theaters due to the graphic violence, gratuitous nudity, and profane language violence depicted in the film.

The U.S quickly granted “Deadpool” an R rating for its mature content, but unfortunately, China has no such rating system in place, making its censorship tests much harder to pass. From the Red Band trailer alone, it’s obvious that the film relies heavily on dirty humor and gritty action.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Sunday (Jan. 17) that China’s censorship authorities did attempt to cut a clean version of the film, but the task of editing down the inappropriate content just wasn’t possible without causing serious plot damage to the movie.

It’s hard to say how damaging the loss of the Chinese release will be to the movie’s profits, but it’s sure to make a sizable dent in what was likely to have been one of the highest grossing films of the year. China houses the world’s largest theatrical market outside of the U.S, which makes you wonder if the execs behind “Deadpool” won’t eventually try to make it work.

20th Century Fox declined to comment on the news of China’s ban.

“Deadpool” hits theaters February 12, 2016.

Wolf of Wall St did well at the box office and it pushed the R rating. I don't see any other films competing with this release. This film will draw out a huge young adult population that grew up on this comic. I just don't see this as a bust.

I don't even care about the Deadpool character but I think this will meet studio box office expectations at the minimum. It will most definitely have a longer shelf life once it hits home video. It has cult following written all over it.

That wasn't directed at you I was just referring to the doubt this film will do well. What I should have added is that if they tamed the charactr I think the film would flop

Oddly enough the comics are just pg-13.

True, and while I hope they don't go Samuel Jackson with the profanity, I'm hoping the R is more violence related. While PG13 would probably still be good, I just feel like they may have ended up watering it down too much to where it was just your normal run of the mill super hero movie. Deadpool is anything but normal, and I feel the R helps in selling that to Deadpool fans. If that makes sense.
