The ratings and what they mean

Another entry from the MPAA's website.  I've been finding this a good source of information for my paper.

There are still many things that the MPAA does not disclose about how these ratings are given.  There are a variety of rumors about the number of "F-bombs" can be used before you get an R rating.  Please note how much longer the PG-13 entry is, as most films that are meant to be blockbusters in the theaters are PG-13.  Also, PG-13 movies tend to be more profitable. I have no real statistics to back that claim up of course.  Either way, this provides some insight into how the ratings are given.

  1. Yeah it would make sense that PG-13 movies are more profitable because parents are more likely to allow their kids to see it.
