Looks like what we've discussed came true, and the Chinese censor wins again! There are at least 3 edits made for the mainland Chinese market.

[Show spoiler]1) Scenes of the security guard got shot in Shanghai is removed
2) When James asked Severine if she started prositution at the age of 12 or13, it was changed to if she "joined" the Chinese mafia at the age of 12 or 13?
3) Raoul Silva was said to be a spy stationed in Hong Kong in 1997. That line is kept, but the subtitles are changed.

Sorry, this story is only in Chinese :

SUPER close now. Only includes up until sunday. so Monday and today not included yet. Will hit $300 at some point this week! final total will probably be maybe $302 million. It's pretty much done now as the theaters droppeda lot this week

China just bumped up the Worldwide total bigtime to $1,077,752,887. I say $1.1B is a go.

Have kind of an off question. When Silva is flying to Skyfall, he's playing that music. What put me off about that, and this was talked about in the bonus features, is that whole last act was supposed to have a western feel to it.

I thought it would make more sense for him to be playing a country song or something, it would have just fit better for me, but he's playing some rock song. Is there a specific reason why he's playing that song?
