Not uncommon for distributors to appeal if a rating potentially limits the scope / audience of a film.

Wonder if this is the beginning of the end for this brief experiment of releasing some feature films for streaming at the same time as cinemas.
It depends on the distributor.
A couple of words about Dune. Dune looks great visually, the cameraman’s work deserves the highest mark, but at the same time the plot is weak, in the second half it becomes simply boring and predictable. The actors play well, but many of them just don’t have enough time to reveal their character. Maybe television format would be much better solution than separated movie…

Vietnam has banned Mark Wahlberg action flick Uncharted, because it contains the “nine-dash-line” which is used on Chinese maps to illustrate the country’s disputed claims to vast areas in the resource-rich South China Sea. Vietnam calls the “nine-dash-line” illegal.
