EDIT: SKYFALL was actually just released in China yesterday.

Somewhat butchered too...

I'd expect nothing less considering what the script implies about China.

Mmm, I wonder how 'butchered' ... have Silva's captors/ torturers changed nationality and has Severine's 'sex trade' background gone, for instance?

Quote :

HONG KONG -- James Bond might have escaped from China unscathed in his latest adventure, but the same can’t be said of Skyfall itself -- as shots of a Chinese character being killed and dialogue referring to prostitution and politics were either edited out or left obscured in subtitles.

The missing scene was set in Shanghai, when a French hitman (played by Ola Rapace) is shown shooting a Chinese security guard in the elevator lobby of a skyscraper before preparing for an assassination.

Later in the film, in a casino in Macau, Daniel Craig’s Bond questions the story’s femme fatale, Severine (Berenice Marlohe), about whether her tattoo is the result of her being forced into a local prostitution ring at an early age. While the lines remains intact on the soundtrack, the Chinese subtitles suggest the spy is asking her about being coerced into the mob instead.

The film’s Chinese subtitles also fudged the exposition of the back story of the film’s villain, Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem), who tells Bond how he was handed over to the Chinese authorities while working for the MI6 in Hong Kong. He adds that he suffered immense torture at the hands of his interrogators before attempting to kill himself.

Sony Pictures’ Chinese representatives declined to comment on the changes. But it is not uncommon for international blockbusters to be released in China with potentially politically or culturally controversial scenes edited out. Men in Black 3 was screened in China only after the removal of scenes depicting aliens masquerading as Chinese restaurant workers in New York, and a group of Chinese pedestrians having their memories wiped out by Will Smith’s character.

While being granted permission to be shot in Shanghai, Mission: Impossible 3 also drew the wrath of China’s censors because of sequences showing men playing mahjong next to a room where a hostage is held, and images of what they saw as unkempt laundry lines in the streets. Meanwhile, Chow Yun-fat’s character in Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End was edited out completely in the film’s Chinese release, with officials disapproving of what they saw as a racial caricature.

Skyfall was originally slated for release in China in November. The postponed release was reportedly the result of authorities’ hope of giving domestic blockbusters such as Back to 1942 and The Last Supper, which were released late November, a better chance at theaters to bolster year-end box office results for Chinese-language productions.

Skyfall will be the only major foreign production unspooling in Chinese cinemas in the next 10 days, with Cloud Atlas (which stars Chinese A-lister Zhou Xun and is co-produced by Hong Kong’s Media Asia) opening Jan. 31, followed by Jack Reacher on Feb. 16 and then The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on Feb. 21. Backed by a lot of buzz in the local media, the Bond film is expected to perform well in China, with its run possibly challenged on Feb. 10 when Stephen Chow’s comedy JTTW opens at the start of the traditional Lunar New Year holidays.

As part of its publicity blitz in China, Craig answered questions from the audience of the film’s Beijing premiere through a live video link Wednesday night. Fielding questions from journalists and viewers, the actor spoke about the number of suits he had at his disposal during the film’s production (30 sets of six) and his favorite “Bond Girl” (“I think Judi Dench will be the Bond girl -- and always will be”) and his hopes for the franchise (“I hope it lasts for another 50 years -- but not with me”).

Heh, I was right (more or less). Thanks, Sharky.

I hear the title song was edited too:

Let the West fall
watch it crumble
we've got a Great Wall
now let's go have some yum-cha

‘Skyfall’ On Track To Beat ‘Quantum’s China Cume In 7 Days

As of Thursday night, Skyfall’s 4-day cume in China was $17.9M, handily breaking the coveted 100M yuan mark. The film opened Monday and is playing on 8,079 screens in the country’s widest release ever. Sony says the 23rd James Bond film that has already broken the $1B mark internationally, is on track to outgross the last Bond film, Quantum Of Solace, in its first seven days in China. The movie’s release on Monday, at $5.1M, was almost three times that of Quantum. It came out amid reports of some tweaks by the local censors and calls by film industry insiders for reforms to the movie review system. Shi Chuan, a professor at Shanghai University’s school of film & TV arts and technology, proposed laws be put in place for censors to follow and said, “Movie regulators should respect the producers’ original ideas, rather than chopping scenes arbitrarily.”

So Worldwide Box right now is ca. 100,059,000. Only 23 mill away from topping TDKR.

It seems to me the Chinese market looks a difficult one to track for any Hollywood blockbuster.
Is it because they have an inbuilt resentment to anything from the West, due to the brainwashing `Everything Chinese is great' propoganda by their government?

I've been to China several times and know first-hand the level of censoring that goes on there. SF's cuts prove this even more. For all the talk of it being the next big superpower, the country is very, very insular, with an inward look and not a healthy look outward globally.

If they are to become the next global state police to replace the US, I just hope they start to appreciate more Western cultures in general, otherwise we could all be in for a big change, and maybe not for the better.

I just checked the new movie schedule that starts tomorrow.

Skyfall begins playing at the $1.25 theater tomorrow and won't be playing at any first run theater here after tonight.

Skyfall has officially passed The Dark Knight Rises on the worldwide charts, resting at No. 7 all-time with $1.093 billion.

They will be from cardiac arrest after hearing that Skyfall surpassed their beloved perfect movie at the box office.

I'd think a very considerable number of them also bought Skyfall tickets

Looks like Sony isn't tracking SKYFALL in the US anymore.

It's showing that Skyfall's China haul is up to $56 million in roughly two weeks of release. Assuming those numbers are accurate, China could account for $100 million. I don't know what the forecast models are for theaters in China, so it's hard to gauge how well the film is doing (though all accounts I've read so far say that it is doing fantastic).

If GHOST PROTOCOL is the gold standard for China, then Skyfall isn't far off. And clearly SF has beaten the overall box office of GP.

Total haul so far is 1,094. billion Once China is all in, total receipts could be in the area of 1.145 billion, which could make it the 2nd best film at the world box office of 2012, I believe. The #2 film of the year, from what I can tell, will be either SKYFALL or THE HOBBIT.
