Chinese censors have cut the timing of 20th Century Fox's Alien: Covenant. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the version released nationally is six minutes shorter than the one seen in other countries. The most frightening and bloody scenes were removed, as well as the "gay" kiss of two androids, played by Michael Fassbender. This did not prevent the picture from showing a good result at the start in the Chinese box office. By the end of its premiere weekend, Alien: Covenant had made about $ 28 million. Note that the movie "Prometheus" has managed to raise in China 19 million dollars in the first week. Note that at the time of this writing, the cumulative box office of the picture was only 214 million dollars after a month of release. The production budget is estimated at $ 97 million, an equivalent amount spent by FOX on advertising. Thus, the project has not even come close to recoupment, not to mention the profit. Let's also remind that Ridley Scott announced his readiness to shoot several more movies from this series. He was going to start production of the next one at the beginning of 2018. Whether the extremely flimsy release of Alien: Covenant will affect these plans remains to be seen. He was going to start production of the next one at the beginning of 2018.
