Will Smith's latest release, currently the top US release right now, has got pushed ahead, by another week at least. This is not the first time the movie's release has been postponed.

In Focus, Smith plays a con artiste who comes into conflict with his protégée played by Margot Robbie. The film opened last Friday and instantly toppled Fifty Shades of Grey from pole position at the box-office.

Says the source, "Members of the Board saw Focus recently and ordered many cuts because of cusswords used. And according to the cuss-word guidelines put out by the Board, that's a strict no-no. Producer Warner Brothers have sought clarity and are unwilling to accept all the cuts and will approach the Revising Committee to seek recertification. This means the film will stay unless the Revision Committee views the Will Smith film."

FOCUS' CUSSWORDS
According to IMDB, it rates high on their profanity meter (9/10). Here's why: "The 'f' word is used almost constantly. About 60-70 instances at least. 10 uses of the 's' word. 14 occurrences of 'ass.' 5 abuses of 'God.' 4 uses of 'bitch' and 'damn.'"
