"Django Unchained" was announced as the first Quentin Tarantino film to receive a theatrical release in China, but the director had to make some small tweaks to make that a reality.
As reported by THR, Tarantino adjusted the "vibrant hue and explosive splatter" of the bloody violence in "Django Unchained" to appease Chinese sensibilities.
In an interview with Southern Metropolis Daily, Zhang Miao, director of Sony Pictures' Chinese branch, said Tarantino "agreed on making slight adjustments to the film for different markets -– and this adjustment for him is progress rather than a compromise." As THR notes, the "Django Unchained" running time remains unaltered by the fixes.
"Django Unchained" has become a worldwide sensation since its release last December. The film has earned over $254 million in international ticket sales, giving it a global cume of over $416 million.
U.S. films making adjustments for release in China is far from surprising at this point.

Lucas suffered vocal cord damage after he was jumped from behind in a stairwell in Moscow. According to the “Bound For The Floor” singer, he was put “in a chokehold until I passed out," then woke up with "all of my pockets empty. No phone, no wallet, no cash, and (worst of all) no passport. Nothing. Even my hat and glasses were gone.” Lucas then found ...

"To be quite honest, I don't know what the current status of my sentence is," Mohammad Rasoulof tells Scott Lucas in an interview for EAWorldView. "For example, in the end, my friend Jafar Panahi, who was sentenced to six years in prison last year, only spent two months in jail. My own sentence has been reduced to one year, but for the time being I am still being issued with visas so I can attend festivals like Cannes and the Iffr. I have no idea what will happen next…. Iran is like an alcoholic father. You can't change your father, but I can see him hurting himself, myself and others. But I still love him."
