Matt Damon starrer "Jason Bourne" has faced backlash in China as the film was primarily released in the 3D format.
Fans of the franchise blasted the film's distributors for trying to make more money with higher ticket prices on the film, reported Deadline.
They accused that they were forced to watch the film in 3D, which was far more expensive, as none of the theatres had its 2D version.
According to the reports, out of the 149 movie theatres in Beijing, only eight presented the 2D format. In Shanghai, only nine of 174 theatres have the 2D version, but those are said to be located in areas far outside the city.
"The 3D version is a rip-off. It's been happening many times in China and must be stopped," one of the protesters said.
The Universal Pictures China branch on Wednesday posted a notice on its official Sina Weibo account, saying the company is working on adding more screenings for the 2D version.
