Movies and TV Red Dawn remake: How America was extorted to alter its enemy.

This should actually go in DC but...

Did anyone follow the storyline involving the drama between Hollywood and China when this movie was set for release?

China was so offended that they were portrayed as the invading force that they told Hollywood if not changed, they would stop doing business in America. Hollywood then caved. It took almost three years to digitally alter the chinese emblem before the movie could be released.

Just curious if anyone noticed like I did that when America is threatened by a superpower, it usually acquiesces.

I have an office a couple doors down from one of the producers of this and I can tell you that is not exactly what happened.

well, by now you would think one would know that the media doesn't tell the whole story.

The filming of Red Dawn was completed back in 2010, but was shelved for two years after declaring bankruptcy amid financing troubles coupled with a barrage of criticism from the Asian nation which happens to hold about $1.12trillion of U.S. debt.

its the first time in history a movie was edited due to external forces. (i made that part up

)

btw: what version were you presented with? i dont buy it was due to potential box office sales. not many chinamen would want to see america win a war.

Well if any media is saying that upsetting the Chinese is the reason they changed the movie (which, again, isn't what happened), then they're wrong.

Yeah, I'm sure that it had nothing to do with alienating 1.3 Billion people from potential ticket sales.

I didn't realize 'America' was synonymous with 'Hollywood'.

Marketing to China is a gigantic facet of movie production these days. They're a gigantic audience and US domestic sales have taken a pretty steady (almost exponential now with streaming and HD...) nosedive since the mainstream introduction of home video starting in the 80s. Overseas box office is essential.

I don't know if this is true or not but I hear it's why Disney/Marvel have been releasing many of their movies over seas first and then America a week later...

Most studios that are opening early in China are doing so to avoid piracy
