China Bans Avatar For Making Too Much $$$$! Really!

James Cameron’s getting booted from China!

Specifically, his mega-hit Avatar will officially stop running in Chinese movie theaters this week as the country’s censors feel it’s success is taking away from homegrown flicks.

Actually, the pulling of Avatar makes room for China’s biggest flick of the year, Confucius, starring Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun-fat, which opens this Thursday.

Tough break, huh James? At least you have over a billion dollars to fall back on!
