Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The R-rated domination has been consistent across the years, including after the PG-13 rating was added in 1984 and despite changing standards. One exception was the first few years of the ratings system, when the PG category was the leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

skillzdadirecta Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Really? Seems a little high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblfilms Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I didn’t read the article, but I’m guessing indie films are what leads to this statistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Also, the MPAA sucks and their rating system is ridiculous and outdated.
