MPAA: more than half the movies rated since 1968 introduction of rating system have been "R"

Yeah but 16 years without a PG-13 rating system must of played a role in the results. Many movies probably would fall into that PG-13 category by today’s standards.

While there unquestionably would've been R-rated films that qualified for PG-13 had that rating been in existence, the study suggests that the general proportions would not have been appreciably different.

I didn’t read the article, but I’m guessing indie films are what leads to this statistic. 

Yeah, a little quick math shows they are rating on average almost 600 movies per year.  There are no where near that many 'good' movies.  They need some way to cross section this data to par it down to movies that matter.

To put that in context, last year Box Office Mojo tracked 740 movies. 35 sold more than 10 million tickets, 120 of them sold more than 1 million, 251 sold more than 100k, and 419 sold more than 10k.

 

The Last Jedi sold about as many tickets as the bottom 627 films combined.

 

So yeah, little seen films boost the numbers a bit.

 

 

Also, the MPAA sucks and their rating system is ridiculous and outdated.
