film rating
Content age guidance
A film rating is a classification assigned to a movie indicating its suitability for different audiences, typically based on content such as violence, sexual material, language, or drug use.
In the United States, the Motion Picture Association assigns ratings like G, PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17; other countries have their own systems.
The film rating kept younger viewers from attending without a parent.
Ratings help parents make viewing decisions but also affect a film's commercial potential.
