It isn't about being a prude, it is about showing common courtesy to fellow adults.  The people who take kids to these movies are doing it because they are selfish.  It isn't to show the kid the movie, it is because they can't wait to see it or won't take the time to find someone to watch the kid.  

 

Adults go to adult things to have an adult time with other adults.  Nothing ruins the mood faster than seeing a couple 2nd graders wide eyed watching Kingsman while the lead actor is about to do something very adult to an actress in the film.  

 

Not every R rated movie is the same and there can be exceptions, but overall you are a lazy asshole if you take children to adult R rated movies.  

Or being asked to shoot a dog, amirite @Ethan Hunt :redcapes:

When I was 12/13 I started seeing R-rated movies (particularly comedies) regularly.  Is that bad? :redcapes:

So with that opening its likely SS will crack $300 and the $200's will yet again be skipped huh? 

 

We may not get a $200m movie until 10-11 months into the YEAR. 

 

The box office Gini coeffienct is real. Mid range is dying.

I think he's talking about the 8 year olds that went and saw Deadpool and had no idea what was happening on International Woman's Day.

Is it bad?  I'm not here to judge if someone lets their kids watch R rated movies at a certain age, but dragging the kids along to watch Fifty Shades of Grey with a theater full of adults is the epitome of being a lazy asshole (even though that movie is terrible).  

 

You can  have your kids watch as many R rated movies as you like, but for the most part do it at home.  It also isn't black and white and as a kid gets older into the late middle school and high school years, then it is subjective.  

 

I'm mostly talking about the lazy assholes who drag along true children from ages anywhere from 4 years old up to around 10 or 11 years old to see clearly adult movies.  It not only is a shitty thing to do to the kid, but mostly it is an insult to the rest of the audience there to watch it and be entertained.

I love the variance personally, making those execs sweat it out on each project from bomb to home run.

oh. I thought you guys were mad about the adults decision, well if it's porn then that's disturbing and very nasty. But if it's an R-rated film that the kid saw a TV spot of it on tv or trailer on the computer, and they wanted to see the film like for example Deadpool then I would think about it  with my kids. But if a parent like myself(using an example right now I'm 19 years old and haven't made children yet) I would tell my kids alright you guys wanna go see a movie? If it was Don't Breathe I would let them know it's pretty scary and intense. are you sure you can handle it? If they say yes ok, but if not then I say alright. But I will never show a 6 year old something like Clerks II.

Correct.  I am talking about the 8 year olds at Kingsman and Deadpool,  the 10 year old out with drunken mommy watching Fifty Shades or the 2nd graders watching Sicario.  Those are only a few I have seen happen.

Fox must be seeing what a horrible missed opprotunity Apocalypse was this year. :apocalypse:

 

Seriously... holy crap, other than Apocalypse, not a single CBM has opened below 130M this year!

I saw a kid being brought to watch Birdman and then being taken out by the middle act of the movie. Methinks someone didn't get the memo and thought it was a regular ole superhero yarn. :rofl:

It's not bad but Rated R is a very very wide range of content.

 

Something like Terminator 2 is relatively lax for example compared to something like the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I saw Terminator 2 when I was very young. But then I saw Robocop when I was 11 and you're god damn right I slept with the lights on

I wasn't aware that grown ass people can't enjoy their big grown up movies if a filthy pleb 10 year old is in the same theatre as them. 

 

Oh wait, they can. This is one of those things that people frequenting message boards only worries about, isn't it? 

 

My brother took me to see the South Park movie on opening night and I was just 10. Hopefully no one in the theatre was silently judging the backs of our heads and thinking of all the things they'd say on the 1999 versions of message boards about us.
