Joker will not be released in China
Joker, which features a new biography of the popular DC villain, will not be released in China. As noted by the Comic Book, the reason was the general tone of the picture, as well as the high level of violence in it. It is also possible that the Chinese authorities were impressed by the massive protests in Beirut, which began due to the fact that the government decided to impose a tax on the use of the popular WhatsApp application. Many of the protesters took to the streets wearing Joker masks. In addition, the total budget of the project became known. After deducting all discounts and perks provided by New York, the Joker had a production budget of $ 70 million and an ad campaign worth $ 120 million, according to Deadline. It is also stated that that Warner Bros., in an effort to reduce the risks, funded the movie with its partners: Village Roadshow and Bron Studios took 25 percent of the costs. Joker is not the only movie released in North America with an R rating, which was then banned from the Chinese movie market. Previously, the same fate befell the adaptation of the comics "Deadpool".
