Censored M:I-3 Launches in China

Mission: Impossible 3 has been cleared for a July 18th release in China after censoring some scences of violence from the original movie.

M:I-3, which has grossed about $192 million outside the United States since its May 5 release, was submitted in mid-April for approval in Beijing, as is standard procedure in China. It promptly met with complaints from communist censors about scenes of violence and shots depicting parts of Shanghai as a slum. So there were some cuts made in the movie after which the board approved a July 18th launch in the country.
