The movie is being released in December in PG-13 form, ostensibly because it was banned in China and Fox want a second bite at that market.

I have to imagine that thing's going to make the Saw re-release look successful by comparison, at least domestically. I can't imagine why anyone would want to watch a watered down version when the actual thing is already on DVD.

Fox wants to make as much money as they can before they lose the rights to the studio that's why.

So the rumors are that the PG-13 cut’s frame narrative will be Deadpool reading “The Deadpool Before Christmas”, which makes this tweet that Ryan Reynolds posted as the news broke make more sense.
And yes, that is an adult Fred Savage being told the story a’la The Princess Bride, which...yeah, that’s funny.

So wait, is that PG-13 cut going to actually be released in American theaters? Or just in China? This sort of thing has been done in the past. Films like Saturday Night Fever were released in both R and PG versions, I guess in that case since it had a popular soundtrack and kids were interested in seeing it.
But yeah, skip this unrated director's cut. It's longer and drags, and the theatrical was already long for what it was. The main problem is that the film isn't really about anything if you think about it. The first one at least had a plot and it mattered. Here I left thinking what I had just seen didn't matter and if anything had been retconned by the end.

Limited release in the U.S., full release in China.

Hope at least this is what we get on prime time/free TV airings when DP2 comes there.
