China Pulls The Da Vinci Code From Theatres

Although the film from director Ron Howard was released a few weeks ago, Chinese authorities have now decided that the film will not be shown in their country.

The official reason given by the government was that they are making room for more local films to be shown during the summer peak season.  The film has already been banned in Fiji, Pakistan and some Indian states. 

This is not the first time that the country’s government has ceased the showing of a feature film.  Memoirs of a Geisha and Brokeback Mountain were also banned.
