Some problems can be solved in a day. If Sony removed the Marvel Logo &End credits today, tomorrow, certainly there will be an announcement regarding it's release date.

They could but Sony and Disney wouldn't want to risk the bad press by removing both especially Venom and Eddie since they refused to cut out a gay kiss in Eternals and it would look bad to cop out to china for this movie

I do not know but Sony does not have logical sense. An official statement like this: "We abide by the rules and regulation, would like to apologise that we have added an persona grata visuals at Opening Theme &End Credit ahead of Chinese release. We, here by, apologise everyone for the mistake that has taken place ahead of release. But, to rectify &correct our mistakes, we would like to inform that we have removed the scenes. Hence, we are looking forward to co-operate with the film-regulators here. A release date will soon be announced. Stay Tuned to our official pages." But, no, Self-respect matters more than fan service. But, I believe Sony is smart enough to take a wise decision.

Who owns rights to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train? Ufotable because they produced it?

Can they  not give credits to Shueisha or remove it's name from Movie? Is it doable in Japan?

It isn't related at all. Shueisha has the right over manga, &manga is the source for creating the movie. So, Shueisha is given the credits only because of being license holder of manga. However, many of the overseas distributor removed Shueisha from Opening Theme with their name. But, Shueisha has not print heat because it distribute in Japan not Oversea. Same goes to China, Bilibilli removed Shueisha for their naming, then comes TOHO as distributor at Japan, then Ufotable as the production company. Aniplex of Japan also has shares in the film but they appeared at end credits. 

 

Well, if CFA asked the Studio to remove some credits from the movie then Studio can do it without any problem, But, Distributors here cannot remove the scene because of budget issues &non familiar arts. And in extreme case, no license to edit.

Appreciate your thoughts, John. But, some people aren't ready to give up.

If foreign films are not releasing makes exhibition/distributor in Mainland China poor then, I would say that 2021 in Japan, is entirely flop because only 5 films managed to make more than ¥1000M /$8.5M+ (Eternals, Monster Hunter, Godzilla vs Kong, 007: No Time To Die &Fast and Furious 9) Rest of them even make less than $4M. But, that doesn't mean that market is losing money. Local has also been supporting the country cinema more than foreign films.

 

China Box Office easily make more money from local works. And this year was one of the most successful years in many times, Multiple records has been broken this year. (Biggest Single day gross, Biggest OW in single market, Biggest Holiday Weekend, Biggest 2nd Weekend, All-time records......) In fact, two films crossed ¥5000M and one crossed ¥4000M and a countable number of ¥1000M. Don't bring question that without a count of foreign films, a regional box office is flopped. This is totally a misconception. Also, other than that Hong Kong, production & Taiwanese production has contributed much (Raging Fire is only of TOP 10 Highest Grossing Film in Mainland China)

If Batman doesn't get a release date in China I'll be inclined to think the issue is one of social policy within China. Basically, that superhero fare has been deemed unfit for mass consumption due to perceived effects on the Chinese youth.

wow , so Marvel should apologize to get their movie released in China?? Yikes.

 

Funniest thing is they never disrespected China. I am glad Marvel Studios is not giving up. Let them seethe if they want to.

False Promises and playing with public love, is a game 🎯. I really feel bad about it

 

Like always, I would say that unless US cares about their films, unless their Disney/Marvel cares about Cultural and National laws at China, Unless Sony can not explain itself as an single license holder of NWH....... Unless Sony doesn't provide an explanation that they are different from Marvel.....Till then NWH will not get a release date.....All those wholesome also can be care off if Diplomacy are ready to clean out their wrong action

Marvel cares about Cultural and National laws. Marvel doesn't care about hypocrisy and I am glad. You are saying as if all fault is from Marvel when they literally haven't done anything to hurt chinese culture.
