We all know that Cinemacon is well on its way in Las Vegas. John Fithian, president and chief executive of the National Association of Theater Owners has blamed R rated films as the reason why seats aren't being filled. “The weight of too many R-rated movies.” He also said “Make more family-friendly films and fewer R-rated titles, Americans have stated their choice."
Maybe it's because we haven't good movies this year? Like Dark Skies, The Last Exorcism Part 2 and Texas Chainsaw 3D. Maybe we need better movies and fewer less R rated films.
If Americans have stated their choice then how come Texas Chainsaw 3D was 1st in its opening weekend, Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters #1 in its opening weekend and Evil Dead was #1 in its opening weekend oh, and Identity Theft was also #1 in its opening weekend.
So is it the R rating? or is it just a scape goat because of the recent shootings that have taken place.
