The country has a history of not allowing movies involving the supernatural from being seen there.
Ghostbusters, which has been at the center of controversy since the film was first announced, has received mixed reviews from critics, but the Reporter’s source said the decision not to bring the film to China has nothing to do with that.
A Chinese executive told THR that the China Film Co. made its decision “because they think it’s not really that attractive to Chinese audiences”.
