The Chinese distributor (which was and is having cash flow problems) wanted a December 2013 release–December being the traditional blockbuster month in China, since Hollywood films are frozen out–and that wouldn't work with a Cannes premiere. Even an "international" premiere wouldn't have flown, since it would require forgoing the traditional near-simultaneous Southeast Asian release and allowed Chinese bootlegs to proliferate in those territories for five or six months before a theatrical run. In the end, the film got pushed back to January 8th, but the Film Bureau obliged by extending the Hollywood blackout through late January, so no harm done.
