The movie based on the video game series of the same name drew outcry on its first day of release in China over a 10-second scene.

But one new release from Sony has generated its own controversy and saw it pulled from Chinese theaters over accusations of racism. Monster Hunter, the Milla Jovovich feature based on the video game series of the same name, was pulled from theaters in China on Friday after backlash over a scene perceived as racist.
