R Rating Is To Blame For Low Ticket Sales? FUCK YOU

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.

Box Office Report: 42 Fucks Were Not Given About Scary Movie 5

This weekend we had five new releases hitting theaters a baseball movie, a dumb comedy, and two limited release films.
42, the baseball film, opened with a surprising $27 million making it the biggest baseball movie opening ever beating out last years Moneyball which made $19 million on its opening weekend. In second we have the film that has sunk so low I am surprised some people even went and saw it. Scary Movie 5 only made $15 million. The lowest in the franchises history, in fact, Scary Movie 4 released in 2006 made $40 million in its opening weekend. Hopefully the Weinstein's get the point that building your movie around a cracked out dude who claims to have tiger blood and everyone's favorite red headed train wreck Lindsay Lohan doesn't work.
Nothing beats horror like animated kids movies as Fox's The Croods comes in #3 with $13 million and G.I. Joe: Retaliation keeps the forth spot with $10 million. Our beloved Evil Dead (Review Here) dropped down to 5th with $9 million making its total gross so far $41.500.00.

Next week Universal will throw everything they got with Tom Cruise in Oblivion opening up in a record 3,8000 theaters which is the biggest release of any Universal Studios movie. We also have Rob Zombie's return to the big screen with his latest film The Lords of Salem opening in limited release with only 300 theaters. And Filly Brown in just 175 theaters (What the fuck is Filly Brown?)
