China’s ‘most expensive’ movie pulled from cinemas
Chinese fantasy-action film Asura was screened for all of three days in China before it was pulled from cinemas. It is headlined by Chinese actor Leo Wu and a bevy of A-listers such as Tony Leung Ka-fai and Carina Lau (the trio play a three-headed demigod in the movie), as well as Taiwanese actor Ming Dao.The movie, which is said to be the most expensive Chinese film ever made with a budget of RMB 750 million (approximately S$152 million) failed to perform during opening weekend and earned just S$9 million at the box office.A representative from Zhenjian film, one of the production companies working on Asura, did not elaborate on their decision to withdraw the film from theatres but shared that they are planning to make “some changes” to the movie before releasing it again.Amid this controversy however, a new wave of allegations suggesting sabotage by online reviewers have emerged.
