Two sequels are expected, however it sounds like the fate of Fifty Shades Darker is a bit uncertain.

On an estimated budget of $40 million, the film has already won.

The film, which tells the story of a virginal college grad (Dakota Johnson) and her introduction to S&M through a dreamy but troubled billionaire businessman (Jamie Dornan), has been performing well at the box office, already having broken the $100 million mark domestically, with an additional $200 million coming in overseas. Getting banned or not being screened at all - as is expected for China, according to Deadline - could put a dent in Fifty Shades' global box office, but FIfty is hardly suffering there. For example, Fifty Shades of Grey is screening in Zimbabwe, however reports that censors ordered an edit on the film to cut out some of the steamy scenes. That's the list according to a collection of reports about the film's status in specific parts of the world, though there may be other places not showing the film.Īn alternative to locking the film out of theaters entirely seems to be to either give the film a hard rating to ensure only adults see it, or in at least one case, to make content edits to the sexually charged romance movie. It's also reportedly banned in Russia's North Caucasus region.
