Avatar Pulled From Chinese Theaters

The sci-fi box office hit Avatar is being pulled from 1,628 2-D screens this week in China according to The Los Angeles Times.

Avatar is already the highest-grossing movie of all time in China earning $76 million, but the government has decided to remove the film this week.  China’s state-run movie distributor China Film Group is replacing the box office hit with a biography about Confucius starring Chow-Yun Fat.

But never fear, Chinese fans will still be able to check out Avatar on almost 900 3D screens.
